The adviser of the future

Challenging markets, rapid technological developments, changing demographics and evolving client needs are just a few of the challenges advisers are facing today. Advisers should re-envision portfolio construction and business development to navigate these challenges.

Our industry is at an inflection point

We are at an unprecedented time in our industry – volatility has returned to global markets, technological advancements and innovation are forming a more competitive landscape, and the needs of tomorrow’s clients are continuously evolving.

There are two pivotal trends centered around evolving client needs that are currently influencing the broader wealth industry.

The portfolio of the future

To navigate the new market regime, the traditional 60/40 portfolio is evolving, and new sources of returns and diversification are needed. More advisers are redesigning portfolios with alternative strategies to provide this element of diversification or seeking access to private markets to amplify returns.
