The digital wealth agenda
Advancing the self-directed investor experience
With the COVID-19 pandemic having a profound impact on the wealth management industry, a new survey uncovers key insights from self-directed investors on data, digital capabilities and the online platform experience.

In a recent survey with over 600 self-directed investors across the globe we uncover the expectations and opportunities around the insights, digital experiences and value they receive from financial providers.
