EY Asia-Pacific Wealth & Asset Management Leader, Elliott Shadforth:
“There’s no doubt the shift into digital is here to stay. Customers are increasingly relying on these tools to analyse their investments and manage their wealth more efficiently, but financial services firms have to find a way to also leverage technology to bring more value and curated options, bringing a whole new experience to each interaction they have with their clients.
The notion of what value really means in wealth management is rapidly changing and technology has a big role to play in elevating experiential factors so that they’ll become key drivers of pricing going forward. We know people are willing to pay more for a better experience and leading firms will be focusing more and more on these value-added products and services to meet their clients’ evolving need.”
EY Asia-Pacific Wealth & Asset Management Consulting Leader, Mark Wrightman:
“The growing focus and interest on ESG and impact investing present a huge opportunity for wealth managers in the coming years and the winners will invariably focus on understanding their clients’ values and offering a broad choice of ESG investing options, tailored guidance and advice.
Wealth managers that can offer a combination of bespoke advice and niche investments will become increasingly popular as global demand for more holistic approaches to wealth management rises. There’s a lot to gain also from seeking collaboration with other providers, from health insurers to competitors, in order to deliver an ecosystem for clients.”
