Robo-Advisors: Mapping the Competitive Landscape | Latest Market Research Report

Researchmoz added Most up-to-date research on "Robo-Advisors: Mapping the Competitive Landscape" to its huge collection of research reports.

The wealth management industry has long been resilient to the digitization process observed in the wider financial services space. This has started to change, however, with interest in robo-advice platforms increasing in 2015. The automated investment management space is hence becoming ever-more competitive as new entrants launch propositions. Supported by software developers, traditional wealth managers have also started exploring the digital advice market. Competition will thus increase further, although robo-advisors are still looking for business models that will appeal to HNW individuals.
