A check-in amid challenging times
On the eve of a potentially tumultuous election year against an uncertain interest rate and inflation backdrop, we surveyed 1,000 mass affluent and high net worth investors to understand their most pressing needs and concerns.

And not surprisingly, they underscored the ongoing value of professional advice. Download the survey to learn more.

Five areas of focus
Despite a challenging economic backdrop and unsettled markets, 49% of investors surveyed are very worried about the 2024 election.
Investors are nearly twice as likely to prefer mainly active investing over passive, but the plurality (37%) desire a mix of both.
Over 85% of investors – and 96% of Millennials and Gen-Xers – expressed a desire to up their financial know-how.
98% of respondents are satisfied with their advisors, with the most satisfied saying that, above all, advisors give them peace of mind and care about them as people.
Results show no relationship between client satisfaction and advisors living in the same state, and those who engage virtually are just as satisfied as those who meet in person.
