China Wealth Market Growth, Strategies and Opportunities by Radiant Insights

Summary
The Chinese private banking industry is hard to penetrate. However, wealth managers that are aware of the local make-up of the HNW market will find it to be highly profitable. Chinese HNW investors have mainly sourced their wealth through a mixture of entrepreneurship and earned income. While investors value professional advice, they are reluctant to relinquish control and tend to prefer advisory mandates. The average portfolio is heavily invested into cash and near cash-products and property, and this is not expected to change. Chinese HNW clients also show moderate to strong demand for auxiliary services, suggesting that a multi-service proposition is critical in China.


Key Findings
- HNW entrepreneurs will prove to be lucrative, accounting for 33.6% of the local HNW population.

- Expats also represent a noteworthy proportion of the Chinese resident HNW population, accounting for 14.1%.

- HNW investors allocate an above average and growing proportion of their wealth into cash and near-cash products.

- HNW demand is particularly pronounced for advisory asset management, but technological advancements and investors' desire to manage simple investments themselves is driving demand for execution-only asset management.

- Already high demand for margin lending is forecast to increase even further, and wealth managers should ensure clients understand the risks associated with a leveraged investment strategy.

Morgan Stanley Market Size, Share, In-Depth Analysis and Forecast 2016 by Radiant Insights

Summary
Morgan Stanley is a US-based financial services provider that operates three main business segments. The company's wealth management segment, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management (MSWM), is comprised of 15,000 financial advisors in four regions around the world, offering various financial and advisory services, wealth planning, insurance products, and retirement services. Led by Colm Kelleher, MSWM continues to display strong performance both in revenues and contribution to Morgan Stanley group revenues. Morgan Stanley targets HNW clients and UHNW individuals with more than $20m in liquid assets through its Private Wealth Management brand. The division also pursues niche audience segments such as athletes and celebrities. MSWM has not been involved in MandA activity since May 2014, when the company sold its Swiss private banking operations to Safra Group. However, the company continues to grow its client base through new products as well as digital platforms.


Key Findings
- Morgan Stanley remains present in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa but has significantly reduced its global footprint. In June 2016 Morgan Stanley opened a third office in Miami to serve clients residing in Latin America, allowing the company to meet the needs of clients with offshore wealth.

- As part of the company's strategic update, CEO James Gorman has presented the next phase of Project Streamline 2016-2017, an initiative that focuses on reducing expenditures across Morgan Stanley. The project aims to achieve this through five main pillars, including structurally simplifying the organization and outsourcing.

- In 2015 MSWM improved its cost/revenue ratio, reflective of the company's goal of cutting costs and shifting focus towards its more stable wealth management division.

- The company focuses on products that resonate with a range of client interests and lifestyles, such as its Catholic Values investing tool kit and discounts through its Reserved Living and Giving program.

- Morgan Stanley has a strong presence on social media platforms. Since mid-2014 Morgan Stanley advisors who have undergone an online training course and have at least 15 followers are allowed to generate tweets for the company's official account.

Digital Lifestyles Market Customer Segmentation in UK Insurance by Radiant Insights

Summary
Society is becoming increasingly connected. Technology has allowed us to be online anytime and anywhere, through portable devices such as smart phones and tablets. This means that consumers have instant access to goods, products, and services. Connection is also extending through the Internet of Things, where big data is collected through wearable tech, connected cars, and smart homes. The result is that consumers expect and look for ever-responsive, convenient, tailored services via a channel they can access from wherever they choose. Catering for digitally active and tech-savvy individuals should be important for insurers, considering that 42% of consumers identified with the Digital Lifestyles trait according to Verdict Financials 2015 UK General Insurance Consumer Survey.


Key Findings
- 65% of under-24s were defined as having the "Digital Lifestyles" trait - a label that also represented more than half of those under 44, before dropping away among the over-50s.

- Just over a third of consumers feel nervous when they're without a Smartphone to remain "connected."

- The online channel is vital in distribution, considering that 45% of consumers identified with the Digital Consumption trait - meaning that they prefer to buy goods and services online.

Synopsis
Standard demographic analysis often fails to reveal sufficiently deep insight into consumer behavior and the motivations behind this. We have produced an attitudinally based segmentation of the consumer market, and have used this to examine the market for key financial products. One of the eight key attitudinal groups is the focus of this brief: Digital Lifestyles. There are two ways in which Digital Lifestyles can be viewed in consumers' approach to their services: being uncomfortable without a Smartphone to remain "connected," and being most comfortable online. It's from these two facets that the following trends within our model are derived: Always Connected and Digital Consumption.
