Mobile apps are increasingly powering the modern wealth client experience

A new poll by J.D. Power that’s making headlines in Wealth Professional, finds that mobile apps should be a priority for businesses looking to draw in and keep younger investors.


“Wealth management firms that want to attract and retain younger investors need to focus on continuing to improve their apps,” said Michael Foy, senior director of wealth intelligence at J.D. Power.


“The mobile app really is becoming the center of the modern wealth management client user experience, and that’s true not just for do-it-yourself investors but also for those who work with a financial adviser. App users are engaging much more frequently with their brand and, when they have a positive experience, are also much more likely to recommend that brand.”


And according to the research and contrary to popular belief, advised investors are more likely to use the digital financial tools offered by their wealth management firms, such as tools that enable them to connect with their financial adviser more effectively and conveniently. As a result, overall customer satisfaction scores are higher among advised investors.

With the oldest millennials only now reaching their late thirties, they still haven’t reached their peak earning power. Millennials’ global annual earnings are expected to rise from $18.4trn in 2015 to $32trn by 2030; Generation Z will add a further $30trn.

 

Millennials grew up with the internet and are “digital natives” who are enthusiastic adopters of new and innovative technologies that fit in with their lifestyle choices. They like smart technology for phones, tablets, cameras, speakers, TVs, and credit cards. Wi-Fi is their oxygen, and they live and breathe online through social media and the cloud.
