The research also revealed that 47% of Affluent Women Decision-Makers, defined as a household having $100k+ in investable assets with a woman being responsible for major financial decisions, currently do not have a primary financial advisor. This analysis signals an opportunity for wealth managers to tailor client acquisition efforts specifically for this audience.
"This audience is a great market opportunity for wealth managers, because affluent women often take a more measured approach towards wealth management and have a stronger emphasis on retirement planning, estate planning and protecting current wealth," said David Thompson, Managing Director, Affluent Practice, Phoenix Marketing International. "In an election cycle when the practices of Wall Street are being called into question, it is good to know that affluent female decision makers are more trusting of wealth management institutions."
According to the research, advisors to affluent women execute well across Phoenix's three pillars of a successful client relationship, which include being proactive, empathetic and collaborative. Affluent women rate their advisors significantly higher across all of the 15 elements that make up these pillars.
This audience also gives high loyalty and satisfaction ratings to their primary advisor. The relationship that women have with their advisors is also very strong, which is vitally important for companies doing their best to retain affluent female clients.
