New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/25/2017 -- 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.

- The US is the home market of low-cost robo-advice, as self-directed investors are driven by price sensitivity above all else.

- New entrants across the globe are introducing innovations to the automated advice space.

- Most wealth managers focused on the HNW segment do not consider robo-advisors a threat to their business, as the wealthiest individuals show limited interest in robo-advice.

- Robo-advisors that emerged as startup companies will partner with incumbents to attract more assets to their platforms.
