What are the Market Dynamics in the US Wealth Management Market?

The US HNW individuals make their fortunes predominantly through earned income. US-based companies are known to offer relatively high and lucrative compensation to executives but a little surprising is the small percentage of HNW individuals pulling their fortunes from entrepreneurship. This is becoming a growing source of wealth generation across the world. The small percentage is also surprising given that the US leads the global startup market while failure is notably more likely among nascent businesses, new entrepreneurs represent a lucrative market for wealth managers willing to target individuals who do not yet qualify as HNW. Supporting entrepreneurs during the early stages of their business venture allows providers to beat the competition and create loyalty early on. However, with lack of capital the number one challenge faced by early-stage business owners, supporting entrepreneurs during the capital raising process is key.

Although, the inheritor market is currently very small but set to grow over the next decade given the age structure of the current HNW cohort, which is dominated by older affluents. This will lead to an increase in inheriting spouses and second- and third-generation inheritors gaining a significant share of HNW wealth in the next 10 years. As HNW inheritors often tend to be less financially savvy than other investors, they will be interested in services such as financial education and discretionary asset management.
