UK IFAs and their Clients; Identifying the IFA client base and how it can be grown

Summary
Following the implementation of the Retail Distribution Review, the UK market saw a decrease in the number of advisors as well as an increase in the cost of advice, creating an advice gap in the retail and low mass affluent segments. However, different types of service models have since emerged to fill the need for advice. Looking forward, the UK advice market will see an increase in demand as the population grows older and wealthier. In addition, the introduction of pension freedoms in April 2015 has prompted a rising number of UK customers to seek out professional advice.

Key Findings
– Looking forward, growing affluence and an aging population will increase the amount of those seeking advice and bring more potential customers to the IFA target pool.

– Older clients, particularly those approaching and in retirement, form the current core group of advisor customers. The typical UK IFA client is an older male investor, reflecting the fact that older men tend to be the most affluent demographic group.

– Consumers who choose professional advice do so in order to receive strategic advice and access to the better range of investments available through professional advisors.

– The pension freedoms have created a new market for investment advice, as retirees and those approaching retirement assess the wider range of options available.

– Life events prompt customers to seek out financial advice: the leading motivations among UK consumers are retirement, inheritance, and property purchase-related issues.
