What Wealth Wants: Refining Your Firms Approach to the High-Net-Worth Market

The high-net-worth tier is big—and getting bigger. Does your firm have everything it takes to serve these increasingly important investors?

A quarter of all U.S. investable assets now come from households with $5 million to $25 million in assets.1 And the number of U.S. millionaires is expected to jump 39% between 2014 and 2019.2

What Wealth Wants: Refining Your Firm's Approach to the High-Net-Worth Market explores the distinctive needs of top-tier households—and reveals what it takes for a firm to move upstream in pursuit of wealthier clients. The guide addresses:

  • Why affluent investors can't be lumped into a single niche
  • Understanding the unique service expectations of the wealthy—for responsiveness, customization and more
  • Why going upmarket may require fundamental changes to a firm's infrastructure, from products to staffing to operations
  • How the HNW service model radically differs from its mass-affluent counterpart
  • The critical role of private banking solutions
  • Key differences between older and younger HNW clients
