While traditional forms of finance undergo transformation, the asset management industry also embraces changes. Adopting them not only helps businesses stay ahead of the curve but also fine-tunes their services to the ever-changing preferences of their clients.

📌 Operational excellence in alternative investments

The growing interest in infrastructure and real estate presents an opportunity for asset managers to capitalise on this trend. Employing cutting-edge solutions, such as data analytics and automated software, allows them to identify better investment opportunities which maximise clients’ returns.

📌 Developing new products

As demand for alternative investments increases, asset managers can democratise access to previously-inaccessible asset classes. This may require launching dedicated Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) or other products for retail investors.

📌 Pension planning

As the global population ages, asset managers have an opportunity to assist individuals in navigating the complex landscape of pension savings. This may involve creating retirement investment products and customised pension strategies, as well as raising awareness on the importance of pension planning.

The consistent growth and transformation of the market pushes asset managers to adapt their services to evolving trends. So it’s essential to continuously upgrade one’s skill set and explore new avenues in order to thrive in a competitive financial landscape.

In October 2022, The Motley Fool conducted a survey of 1,200 Millennial and Gen Z investors, as well as individuals outside of these generations. Asset managers looking to attract new clients might benefit from some insights into investment behaviours of younger investors. For example:

📌 Almost 60% own either cryptocurrency or stocks, with crypto being slightly more popular.
📌 The prevalence of crypto investments went from 40% in 2021 to 60% in 2022.
📌 Possession of meme stocks went from 30% in 2021 to 40% in 2022.

Millennials and Gen Zers are more likely to own stock options (30%) and cryptocurrency (59%) compared to older generations (18% and 48%, respectively). But they are also less likely to have retirement accounts (41% vs 55%).

Comparison between investing behaviours of Millennials and Gen Zers also showed:

📌 Millennials are more likely to hold ETFs (25%) and mutual funds (27%) than Gen Zers (14% and 18%, respectively).
📌 33% of surveyed Gen Z investors hold stock options, compared to 29% of Millennials.

Gen Z and Millennial investors are more likely to own ESG, penny, S**C, IPO, and REIT stocks than previous generations. It might indicate a greater inclination towards diversification.

When it comes to specific industries, younger investors’ trends are consistent with those observed across generations. Millennials and Gen Zers primarily invest in:

📌 finance,
📌 energy,
📌 real estate,
📌 technology.

They also demonstrated a growing interest in the ma*****na industry, with stock ownership in this sector rising from 20% to 25% between 2021–2022.

Asset managers interested in attracting a younger demographic should account for these generational investment trends. Understanding these patterns allows them to create more tailored investment solutions to meet the needs of Millennial and Gen Z investors.
