Over the next 50 years, more than $41 trillion in assets will be transferred from one generation to another. The non-profit Center on Wealth and Philanthropy sets the bar even higher--$58.1 trillion by 2061. Whatever the final figure, the generational shift of wealth represents an extraordinary opportunity for financial advisers.

We are entering a new era in financial services, and there is a massive opportunity on the horizon. Some $2 trillion1 in wealth will change hands in the next five years, with $30 trillion being shifted in the next 30 to 40 years. What exactly does this mean for financial advisors?

Based on responses from more than 1,100 adults who currently have investments, the research found the wave of millennials (ages 18-34) entering the market is not only putting pressure on financial advisors to use newer technologies in managing their money, but also pushing even Gen Xers (ages 35-54) and baby boomers (ages 55+) toward more modern financial tools, such as modeling on mobile devices or online portfolio rebalancing.

In the next five years, more than $2 trillion is expected to transfer between generations. To capitalize on this massive redistribution of wealth, financial advisors need to meet the demands of today’s clients who are social, mobile, more connected, better informed and looking to collaborate with their advisors when they want, where they want. In fact, according to the Salesforce Connected Investor report, 55% of investors want to work more closely with their advisors. To succeed, advisors must have relationships with their clients that are deeper than just the numbers, and focus on individuals and their unique needs.

With new technologies, new opportunities often emerge, especially in business. The advent of innovations, such as social media and mobile devices, is changing the ways businesses interact with customers and the ways in which customers desire to be engaged. Opportunities arising from the benefits of salesforce automation, business intelligence (BI), and customer relationship management (CRM) applications are providing new levels of insight, helping businesses acquire customers more efficiently and retain those customers longer. As a direct result, organizations that invest in better understanding potential customers are likely to see higher returns than those organizations that possess a more limited understanding of their customer base. Seeking the competitive advantage resulting from improved customer focus, IT organizations have increased investment in business intelligence and analytics and the underlying infrastructure to support those applications.
