Social Media and Wealth Management: Servicing NextGen Wealthy Clients

Digital transformation has significantly reshaped all banking sectors, transforming traditional banking practices into dynamic, technology-driven services. Social media’s integration into banking has been one of the more recent changes, offering new avenues for client engagement, marketing, and service delivery. For Swiss wealth management banks, known for their discretion and reliability, adapting to this digital shift has become crucial, especially with the emergence of a new generation of wealthy clients: the so-called NextGen.

Forbes 400 List: U.S: UHNWI Wealth Creation (1990-2020)

The landscape of wealth management for ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWI) continues to evolve, as highlighted by the Forbes 400 list of wealthiest individuals living in the USA. A recent article has analyzed the Forbes 400 list back to 1990 to determine the source of wealth creation across industries.

In this blog post, I will review this article and highlight what I believe Swiss wealth management banks should do to maintain their relevance and leadership. In sum, I will argue that Swiss wealth management banks should focus on understanding the primary sources of wealth creation among UHNWI, adapt to their evolving needs by embracing technology and digital transformation, expand and diversify their asset management services, and maintain personalized wealth management while ensuring robust regulatory and compliance frameworks.
