Research and analysis highlights
French banks have so far been less affected by the economic downturn than less
conservative nations, but HNW sentiment has worsened. Opportunities will arise
for those in a position to take advantage of them, but opinion is divided over
which type of wealth manager will fare best over the next few years.
At present there is an increased demand for discretionary wealth management
among French HNWs. This comes despite confidence in and loyalty to wealth
managers being at its lowest. Some HNWs wish to partake in execution only
management, but are unwilling to do so in the current market conditions.
French wealth managers are primarily concerned with the quality of their
service. This is congruent with the high importance placed on personal
relationships by French HNWs and their higher than average demand for face to
face relationship management.
