The Competitive Landscape in Family Wealth (Part 1 & 2) Alliance Research Questionnaire Dear Colleague, Family Wealth Alliance is inviting you to participate in (and, through participation, receive a complimentary copy of) our 2019 industry study, The Competitive Landscape in Family Wealth. This report, last conducted in 2012, takes a fresh look at the cutting-edge issues affecting you and your industry peers. Issues queried include: Competitive threats and responses – What obstacles are companies encountering that hinder organic growth, and how are companies positioning themselves to respond in the coming decade. Client acquisition – How are companies going about finding clients and what challenges do they encounter landing and retaining those relationships. Fees and pricing – What are the optimal level and mix of fees, on what are they assessed, and are they rising. Firm positioning – In light of threats experienced by these businesses, how are leadership teams modifying their pricing models to remain profitable, their brands to convey a unique value proposition to their target market, and their culture to attract the best talent. Benchmarking industry best practices allows us to offer aggregated insights about competitor activity in the marketplace. Such insights provide directionally critical data points to family wealth firms seeking to craft their own strategies for differentiating themselves from competitors and remaining relevant to clients.Please consider contributing to this important industry initiative by responding to the attached 18 question survey. Given the sensitive nature of the information your firm is being asked to share, participating firms will be listed, but all responses to the topics addressed will be released in the aggregate only.
