ReportsnReports.com adds DataMoniter Market Research Report “Wealth Management in
France 2011 ’’ to its store.
Clients lost a lot in the recession: returns, risk tolerance and confidence. Now in a rebuilding
phase, wealth managers that understand their clients' demands and motivations are in the
best position to profit. Datamonitor's analysis provides the data and insight to monitor
competitors' strategies, size their potential customer base, and understand their needs.
Features and benefits
Build your customer targeting strategy using in-depth HNW demographics and needs
analysis based on Datamonitor's annual Global Wealth Manager Survey.
Assess your competition through detailed profiles of notable players, including the
customer targeting, marketing and product strategies they employ.
Size your potential client base using Datamonitor's proprietary data, presenting the
number of affluent individuals by liquid asset band to 2014.
Highlights
There were more than 6 million mass affluent individuals in France at the end of 2008, a
robust population for the country's banks to target. However, the credit crisis led to almost
1 million of those individuals having dropped out of the mass affluent population by the end
of 2009.
The French HNW customer is typically male and aged between 51 and 65 years old. He
earned his wealth through entrepreneurship and, judging by his portfolio, he is
conservative, holding most of his liquid wealth in bonds and cash. However, these broad
asset classes mask a certain risk tolerance.
BNP Paribas and Société Générale are dominant players in French wealth management.
Both have dedicated entrepreneurial services, and BNP Paribas also concentrates on the
ultra high net worth market (UHNW). In this area its promotion of philanthropy services
through its annual Awards for Personal Philanthropy is highly effective.
