The $124 Trillion Great Wealth Transfer

Psychographics Are the Key to Protecting and Growing AUM Across Generations

Over the next two decades, up to $124 trillion will move from Baby Boomers to Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, and charitable organizations.

 For financial institutions, this shift represents the largest retention risk—and growth opportunity—of our time.

Traditional demographic-based strategies are no longer enough. To retain assets, acquire heirs, and win new relationships, firms must understand why clients think, decide, and act the way they do.

This executive whitepaper explains how financial psychographics unlock persuasive personalization at scale—before assets walk out the door.
