COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The pandemic has affected both investors and wealth management firms and investors experienced direct impacts on their existing portfolios. Moreover, firms with larger customer bases have relied on electronic means through artificial intelligence (AI), or social media to connect with their clients, which has become challenging factors to the wealth management firms. Therefore, demand for wealth management product offerings has declined tremendously during the global health Crisis.
Top Impacting Factors
Emergence of FinTechs
Wealth managers are increasingly investing in new technologies such as robo-advisor, artificial intelligence (AI), robotic process automation, and digital identification (ID) technologies for improving customer experience. FinTechs (Financial technology) has largely disrupted wealth management industry. FinTechs include a wide range of new technology used to improve and automate the delivery of financial services.
Moreover, robo-advisor technology is increasingly used among wealth management providers, as it involves automated & algorithm-based systems to provide customized portfolio management advices to the customers. For instance, in 2019, a study conducted by Ernst & Young Global Limited, which is a multinational professional services projected that usage of FinTech will increase from 38% to 45% in the next three years. This growth will further boost wealth segment among mass affluent clients with nearly 35% growth and 41% growth among high-net-worth individual (HNWI). Growth in FinTechs therefore enhances efficiency and transparency in wealth management business operations, which, as a result is significantly fueling the market growth.
By Provider
FinTech Advisors segment will dominate the market with a highest CAGR of 16.8% during 2020 - 2030
Lack of Pricing Transparency and Competitive Fees
Pricing transparency and competitive fees are two of the most important factors for clients while evaluating and selecting wealth managers in the market. For instance, Vestmark, Inc., which is a leading provider of wealth management solutions & services in the U.S. projected that 45% clients do not trust their advisors while charging fees for wealth management and are dissatisfied with the fees structure provided by wealth managers. Therefore, lack of pricing transparency and higher fees charged for wealth management offerings are expected to limit the market growth.
Technological Advancements
Increased adoption of advanced technologies such as chatbots, IoT, AI, and big data analytics, have led toward the wealth management market growth. In addition, with increase in digitalization, wealth management providers are looking forward to quickly invest on client engagement by providing digital and voice-enabled assistants. Moreover, chatbots, which is a software application used to conduct an on-line chat conversation, are largely used by wealth management firms, as it helps in offering more personalized & user-friendly experience than mobile applications.
In addition, with their use of natural language processing & machine learning capabilities, chatbots answer questions, monitor transactions, place orders, and perform screening functions remotely. Implementation & investment in technologies help wealth managers to remain competitive, achieve deep insight into the products & services offered, and improve operational efficiency for both the front and back office activities. Therefore, the possibilities of technological advancements are unlimited, which are expected to create remunerative opportunities for the growth of the wealth management market.
