The future of Private Banking and Wealth Management is increasingly tied to the Internet. The new generation of clients uses the website of a wealth manager as the primary information source for starting any potential business relationship. New social networks are employed by clients to gather information and opinions about their wealth adviser. These are radically new demands for the vast majority of wealth managers. As our research shows, most of them are not prepared for change yet.
