Cultivating relationships with next-generation clients has become a priority for wealth managers seeking to sustainably grow their practice. Approximately $60 trillion are slated to transfer from primary clients to their heirs within the next 25 years. But only13% of next-gen clients retain their parents’ adviser after receiving their inheritance, according to Cerulli Associates. That makes attracting and servicing next-gen clients an important investment in a firm’s long-term growth. Ghislain Gouraige, Jr., family office consultant at UBS, Christopher Jay, senior vice president at Merrill Lynch, and George Papadoyannis, private adviser at Ameriprise Financial Services, shared key insights on servicing families and next-generation clients at the recent Barron’s Teams Summit. Below, some of the best analysis and insight from WSJ writers and columnists, the Dow Jones Newswires team and occasionally beyond, on investing, the wealth-management business and more. |

"We are...constructive on emerging market (EM) debt, with the staggered global recovery and peak global stimulus boding well for emerging markets," says PineBridge's Steven Oh. Corporate fundamentals remain positive, with first-quarter earnings beating estimates for more than half of MSCI Emerging Market index companies that have reported to date, he says. China Huarong Asset Management's sharp rating downgrade after missing a deadline to produce financial results coupled with political noise in Latin America have all failed to dent demand, with higher new bond issuance being absorbed and most spread-widening being short-lived, he adds.
