Wealth management is a comprehensive financial service that combines various financial disciplines and services to address the needs of affluent clients. A highly customized service, it includes investment management, financial planning, estate planning, and retirement planning. The purpose of wealth management is to sustain and grow long-term wealth and offer a strategic approach to managing clients' financial situations. The wealth management market is driven by the proliferation and rising diversity of financial assets across the world. The popularity of sustainable and responsible investing (SRI) has also seen considerable growth, influencing wealth managers to incorporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria in their investment strategies. However, instances of fraudulent wealth management practices and investment scams deter potential clients from availing of the services of wealth management. Additionally, the lack of skilled, knowledgeable professionals and limited investment options provided to clients reduces the favourability of wealth management. However, major providers are constantly exploring ways to integrate advanced technologies such as AI, ML, and big data analytics solutions to expand the scope and efficiency of wealth management. Fintech technologies incorporate digital solutions that increase accessibility, offer enhanced analytics, and improve client engagement through personalized experiences, thereby offering new avenues of growth for wealth management providers.
