67% of APAC ultra-wealthy investors still seek human advisors

A study suggested that over-digitalisation could alienate investors.

Amidst the prevalence of wealth management firms looking to partner with or build their own robo-advisors to offer better financial advice to customers, a study by data and analytics firm GlobalData found that 67% of mass affluent investors in Asia Pacific still see the importance of having access to a human advisor or consultant.

“This shows the importance of the human aspect of wealth management services. If client-facing processes become overdigitalised it could alienate this large population of investors,” Oliver Wintle, wealth management analyst at GlobalData, noted.

As the use of technology aid processes, Wintle suggested that a hybrid approach combining digital tools with face-to-face contact is the best possible way of managing investment and to attract and retain the mass affluent segment.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
