General Session The Economics of Wealth Management: Adapting Your Business to a Changing Environment Are you ready to deal with new economic realities facing the wealth management industry that will affect your business? Over the next decades every firm’s economics will change and so too will the industry’s structure. Force Driving this evolution include: • A more slowly growing pool of prospective clients and increased competition for them • Low nominal returns on lower-risk asset classes • An aging client base that is increasingly risk-averse and consumes greater amounts of net capital • Continued cost inflation Mark Hurley, Fiduciary Network, Chairman and CEO CE credit approved for CIMA designations |
