Are your Wealth Management Clients Happy? How would you know if you do not ask? It's time to conduct a client survey with your Wealth Management Clients. Most Wealth Management clients have not lived through a recession and depend on Advisors and Providers to tell them what to do. Have you asked them for feedback in 2022. Only 76 percent of wealthy Generation X clients are satisfied with their financial professional. Fifty-four percent of Millennials are likely to move their assets if their provider lacks the digital tools they desire. Client surveys are common regardless of the product or industry.
