7 ROBO- ADVISORS EXTRACT OF EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (Executive Summary in full report) Robo-Advisors Infiltrating Wealth Management Industry The disruptive effects of robo-advisors and automated investment services to the traditional wealth management industry are growing. Whereas the market development in 2014 was dominated by the launch and growth of start-ups, established wealth management providers have started to strike back and are opening up to the robo-trend themselves. This is a key finding of our 2015 report on robo-advisors "Robo-Advsiors 2.0.: Robo-Advisors Infiltrating Wealth Management Industry". Transformation from robo-advisor 1.0 to robo-advisor 2.0. Compared to our last year s survey we find that the robo-advisor movement has been growing up and the report identifies three main trends shaping the development in the robo-advisor industry: The (established) wealth management industry as a whole is opening up to the robo-trend as signified most prominently by the new offering by Schwab Intelligent Portfolios. But other banks and wealth managers have already created their own automated advice solutions such as BMO, Vanguard, Ritholtz, Fidelity and TD Ameritrade. Some robo-advisors are acting more and more as technology providers, offering white label solutions and software platforms to other advisors or are seeking alliances with established wealth management players. The deal between Fidelity and Betterment is only one, broadly reported example. There are increasing opportunities to supplement robo-services with other, adjacent newly automated services such as financial planning. For example new players like Advizr and iquantifi now provide algorithmically based planning solutions while LearnVest has harnessed technology to provide a highly cost effective hybrid human and automated planning solution. We see a growing awareness on the part of conventional wealth managers of the need to respond to the challenge that robo-advisors present. A number of important and influential players in the financial services industry begin to engage with the kinds of technology that were seen as the identifying characteristic of robo-advisors exclusively less than a year ago. And this is just the beginning of a significant trend for the next few years. In its updated forecast MyPrivateBanking Research estimates that global assets under management (AuM) of the robo-advisor services will reach $20 billion by the end of The lion s share of these assets of 79% will be managed by robo-advisors based in the United States. Within the five following years the global AuM of robo-advisors is forecast to grow to an estimated $450 billion (2020). This number does not even include assets which are invested under the recommendations of an automated financial advisor but controlled by private investors and the assets under management of existing established wealth managers offering some kind of robo-like or automated service.
8 ROBO- ADVISORS Robo-Advisors accelerate technology adoption in wealth management MyPrivateBanking has identified a number of likely developments that will mean that robo-advisors may soon have influence on the development of traditional wealth managers which goes significantly beyond their current small size: Robo-advisors are likely to integrate more technology rapidly, especially in areas such as the effective deployment of mobile apps and harnessing artificial intelligence for client communication and established wealth managers will need to respond quickly. The trend for robo-advisors to move into the provision of business-to-business services to other wealth managers grows. Working together with a robo-advisor in this way could provide important competitive advantages to wealth managers that take advantage of these opportunities. Robo-advisors websites benefit from focus and simplicity and they have to be very careful not to over-complicate the initial impact their websites make on the first time visitor; this may act as a brake on offering more services (such as financial planning). Some robo-advisors and established wealth management institutions, such as Vanguard, BMO or Schwab, are already including an element of dedicated (but remote) advisor contact and this could in time become a serious threat to old-school wealth manager business models. The robo-advisor phenomenon will force the traditional wealth management industry to reconsider the generally accepted belief that wealth clients will always prefer the face-toface contact of their own dedicated personal advisor. Now we are beginning to see newly applied technology, such as financial planning tools and natural language generation engines, which have the potential to provide practical automated substitutes to personal contact with an advisor.
9 ROBO- ADVISORS METHODOLOGY This report covers 19 robo-advisors (of which 13 have already been covered in our previous report in September 2014) with detailed profiles. In addition, there are six profiles of automated wealth management services by established wealth management firms and seven profiles of technology vendors that provide specific technology solutions for the robo-advisor-space or complete white label robo-advisor solutions. In MyPrivateBanking s 2014 report on robo-advisors, Robo-Advisors: Threats and Opportunities for the Global Wealth Management Industry, we reported on 14 of the active robo-advisors in the United States and Europe. For the current report, recent developments in the automated advisory field convinced us that it was vital to include three additional perspectives on the field: technology advances that are opening up new territory for digital advice, new robo-advisor solutions and moves by major players in the financial services industry to introduce their own robo-advisory services or initiatives that represent an implicit response to robo-advisors. We have also taken the opportunity to review and update our earlier findings about 13 of the original 14 robo-advisors as in several cases their recent development provides essential pointers to the future direction that automated advisory services will track.

10 ROBO- ADVISORS ROBO-ADVISOR SERVICES: REPORT FOCUS In this chapter we set out our main areas of interest in looking at three types of participant in the financial advisory field. Firstly, we look at the robo-advisors themselves, both the players we covered in our 2014 report and at a group of new entrants or companies that launched their service in the last few years and which we believe have become more central in the robo-advisory terms in recent months. Secondly, we ll set out in general terms our reasons for being interested in two other categories of participant: companies usually but not always major financial institutions that have an important part to play in the future of robo-advisory services; and companies that are technology or, to put it another way, robo functionality vendors. Our major focus in our ongoing research into robo-advisors is to establish their position in relation to the wealth management industry in general and to identify ways in which robo-advisors are likely to have an impact on conventional wealth management businesses. This covers not just possible threats and their likely timescales but, very importantly, also the extent to which the robo model is replicable by more traditional wealth managers. We have also made the continuing developments in automation that have the potential to further disrupt wealth management a major focus of this report. ( more in full report)
