THE CHALLENGES:
By the end of this decade, millennials will represent the largest ‘adult’ group, and nearly two thirds of the world’s millennials are in Asia. They are less financially savvy, more sceptical of financial advisors and consume ‘digitally’. This poses a challenge to banks and traditional financial advisors to adapt to this new customer profile.

1) How can technology be used to better tailor wealth management services to millennials? This should consider how to improve user acquisition and retention.
2) How can big data and analytics be used to strengthen the advisor-client relationship and to predictively offer/customise wealth propositions to advisors?
3) How can technology be used to encourage millennials to save and ultimately grow their wealth without the need for human advisors?
