Thirty-seven percent (37%) of Active Wealth Millennials reported using a Robo-advisor as of the first quarter of 2015, versus only 9% of less active Millennials.
Rhinebeck, NY (PRWEB) May 20, 2015
Phoenix Marketing International (PMI), a global marketing services firm, today released new data from its Q1 2015 Global Wealth Monitor database showing that, as expected, affluent Millennial investors (aged 20-35) were more likely than their older generational counterparts to have adopted some of the new wealth management technology such as Robo-advisors (where advice is programmatically delivered via Website or Smartphone) or social networking (such as Facebook, Twitter, etc).
More details will be presented in person on Wednesday June 3rd at the Central Park Room, JR Marriott Essex House (160 Central Park S, New York, NY 10019) during a lively discussion panel titled ‘The Emerging Generation of Millennial Investors That Will Transform Wealth Management’. The event begins at 8:00 AM for breakfast and networking and continues from 8:30 AM - 10:30 AM for the panel discussion. For more information and to register for the event please click here.
However, the Phoenix data also reveals that not all affluent Millennials are early adopters of new wealth management tools and technology. “It’s really those who we call the Active Wealth Millennials who are the vanguard of the next generation of investors," says David Thompson, Managing Director of the Phoenix Global Wealth Monitor. “The Active Wealth are highly engaged in putting their wealth in motion to pursue their goals and ambitions," and they represent about 60% of affluent Millennials,” continued Thompson.
The Phoenix data clearly shows the difference between “active” and “less active” Millennial investors. Thirty-seven percent (37%) of Active Wealth Millennials reported using a Robo-advisor as of the first quarter of 2015, versus only 9% of less active Millennials. Similarly, 30% of Active Wealth Millennials used social networking in managing their finances, versus only 3% of less active members of that generation.
