Top Wealth Management Trends
Some of the top wealth management trends in 2023 are ESG, recessionary conditions, cryptocurrencies, Russia/Ukraine Conflict, inflation, robo-advice, and AI and personalization.
ESG
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) is an enduring concern for wealth managers as they are at the forefront of the West’s financial war in support of Ukraine. Digitalization and consolidation are long-time strategic concerns for wealth managers as well. HNW investors are keen ESG investors, and demand for ESG investment products now outstrips that for philanthropy. Hence, supporting HNW investors in their philanthropic endeavors will remain an important aspect of wealth managers’ repertoire, given that ESG investments and philanthropy support are two distinct propositions.
Russia/Ukraine Conflict
In a bid to cripple Russia’s economy, the West has disconnected key sanctioned Russian banks from the SWIFT global financial system and prevented the Russian central bank from deploying its international reserves. The assets of major Russian banks have been hit with asset freezes and new business restrictions. Russia can no longer conduct transactions through the US and EU systems. Furthermore, G7 nations and the EU have revoked Russia’s most-favored nation status and denied borrowing privileges at leading multilateral financial institutions.
Inflation
Uncertainty remains a key investment theme as wealth managers and investors are scrambling to inflation-proof portfolios. Higher inflation amid slower growth has brought an end to the availability of cheap money and inflated asset prices. Returns are harder to come by as central banks across the world are enacting tighter monetary policies.

AI and Personalization
In theory, robo-advisors are supposed to churn through large amounts of market data to generate portfolio recommendations that match a wide range of client goals and profiles. However, in practice, this approach is not common. AI-supported investment management aims to generate these hyper-personalized portfolio recommendations and monitoring for even small-scale investors, all at minimal incremental cost. Steps have been made to incorporate this approach into offerings. Direct indexing is one example, increasingly bringing personalized portfolios to investors with lower assets. For instance, launched in July 2022, Fidelity’s Solo FidFolios is one of the first retail-oriented direct-indexing services. It uses AI to support tax management of the portfolio and provide personalized investment strategies that use fractional share trading.

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”
Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.
Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.
