The $100 Trillion Battle For The World’s Wealthiest People! Two Financial Giants Look Likely To Crush The Competition

— September 5th, 2023 | New York | Finance and Economics | Rich and Famous

The Uber-rich hire all kinds of people to make their lives easier. Landscapers Maintain Gardens, Housekeepers Tidy Homes, Nannies Raise Children. Yet perhaps no role is as important as that of the Wealth Manager, who is hired to protect capital.

These advisers are scattered across the globe in cities such as Geneva and New York, and are employed as fiduciaries, meaning they are required to act in the interest of their clients. As such, they become privy to the intimate lives of the rich and famous, who must expose their secrets so that advice may be offered on, say, the inheritance of a child born of an extramarital affair. Advisers also help families allocate investments, stash cash in boltholes, minimise tax bills, plan for retirement, arrange to pass down their vast wealth and follow unusual wishes. A Singapore-based manager recalls being told to invest a “double-digit” percentage of a family’s wealth in “bloodstock horses”—steeds bred especially for racing—a term he hurriedly looked up after the meeting.

For decades, wealth management was a niche service, looked down upon by the rest of finance. Now it is the most attractive business in the industry. Capital and liquidity requirements set after the global financial crisis of 2007-09 have made running balance-sheet-heavy businesses, such as lending or trading, difficult and expensive. By comparison, doling out wealth advice requires almost no capital. Margins for firms that achieve scale are typically around 25%. Clients stick around, meaning that revenues are predictable. Competition has crushed profits in other formerly lucrative asset-management businesses, such as mutual funds. And whereas the pools of assets managed by BlackRock and Vanguard, the index- and exchange-traded-fund giants, are huge, they collect a fraction of a penny on every dollar invested. A standard fee for a wealth manager is 1% of a client’s assets, annually.

Wealth management is all the more appealing because of how quickly it is expanding. Global economic growth has been decent enough over the past two decades, at more than 3% a year. Yet it has been left in the dust by growth in wealth. Between 2000 and 2020 it rose from $160trn, or four times global output, to $510trn, or six times output. Although much of this is tied up in property and other assets, the pool of liquid assets is still vast, making up a quarter of the total. Bain, a consultancy, estimates that it will almost double, from just over $130trn to almost $230trn by 2030—meaning that a $100trn prize is up for grabs. They anticipate the boom will help lift global wealth-management revenues from $255bn to $510bn.

It will be fuelled by geography, demography and technology. The biggest managers are attempting to cover ever more of the globe as dynastic wealth is created in Asian and Latin American markets. Baby-boomers are the last generation that can rely on defined-benefit pensions for their retirement; more people will have to take decisions about how their own wealth will support them. Meanwhile, software is streamlining the bureaucracy that once waylaid wealth managers, allowing them to serve more clients at lower cost, and helping firms automate the acquisition of new ones. These gains will allow big banks to serve the merely rich as well as the uber-wealthy. Firms are already climbing down the rungs of the wealth ladder, from ultra-high-net-worth and high-net-worth, who have millions of dollars to invest, into the lives of those with just $100,000 or so.

Markus Habbel of Bain sees a comparison to the booming luxury-goods industry. Handbags were once prized for their exclusivity as much as their beauty, but have become ubiquitous on social media, with influencers touting Bottega Veneta pouches and Hermès bags. “Think about Louis Vuitton or Gucci. They have basically the same clients as [wealth managers] target and they increased from 40m [customers] 40 years ago to 400m now,” he notes. Upper-crust buyers have not been put off.

Which firms will grab the $100trn prize? For the moment, wealth management is fragmented. Local banks, such as BTG in Brazil, have large shares of domestic markets. Regional champions dominate in hubs, including Bank of Singapore and dbs in Asia. In America the masses are served by specialist firms such as Edward Jones, a retail-wealth-mananagement outfit in which advisers are paid based on commissions for selling funds. Only a handful of institutions compete on a truly global scale. These include Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase. But the two biggest are Morgan Stanley and a new-look ubs, which has just absorbed Credit Suisse, its old domestic rival. After acquiring a handful of smaller wealth-management firms over the past decade, Morgan Stanley now oversees around $6trn in wealth assets. After its merger, ubs now oversees $5.5trn.

To The Victor

This patchwork is unlikely to last. “The industry is heading in a winner-takes-all direction,” predicts Mr Habbel, as it becomes “very much about scale, about technology and about global reach”. Jennifer Piepszak, an executive at JPMorgan, has reported that her firm’s takeover of First Republic, a bank for the well-heeled that failed in May, represents a “meaningful acceleration” of its wealth-management ambitions. Citigroup has poached Andy Sieg, head of wealth management at Bank of America, in an effort to revamp its offering. In 2021 Vanguard purchased “Just Invest”, a wealth-technology company.

ubs and Morgan Stanley have grander ambitions. The firms’ strategies reflect their contrasting backgrounds and may, ultimately, end up in a clash. Morgan Stanley competes around the world but is dominant in America, and is focusing on wealth services for the masses, as shown by its purchase of e*trade, a brokerage platform, in 2020. James Gorman, the bank’s boss, has said that if the firm keeps growing new assets by around 5% a year, its current growth rate, it would oversee $20trn in a decade or so.

This would be built on Morgan Stanley’s existing scale. In 2009 the bank agreed to acquire Smith Barney, Citi’s wealth-management arm, for $13.5bn, which helped boost margins to the low teens from 2% or so in the years before the financial crisis. Today they are around 27%, reflecting the use of tech to move into advising the merely rich. Andy Saperstein, head of the wealth-management division, points to the acquisition of Solium, a small stock-plan-administration firm, which Morgan Stanley purchased for just $900m in 2019, as crucial for building a strong client-referral machine. “No one was looking at the stock-plan-administration companies because they didn’t make any money,” he says. But these firms “had access to a huge customer base and [clients] were constantly checking to see when the equity was going to vest, what it was worth and when they would have access to it.”

ubs is employing a more old-school approach, albeit with a global twist. Having taken over its domestic rival, the Swiss bank has a once-in-a-generation chance to cement a lead in places where Credit Suisse flourished, such as Brazil and South-East Asia. Deft execution of the merger would make the firm a front-runner in almost every corner of the globe. Thus, for now at least, the new-look ubs will focus more on geographic breadth than the merely rich.

In differing ways, both Morgan Stanley and ubs are seeking even greater scale. When clients hire a wealth manager they tend to want one of two things. Sometimes it is help with a decision “when the cost of making a bad choice is high”, says Mr Saperstein, such as working out how to save for retirement or a child’s education. Other times it is something exclusively available, such as access to investments unobtainable through a regular brokerage account.

Being able to offer clients access to private funds or assets will probably become increasingly important for wealth managers. Greater scale means greater bargaining power when negotiating with private-market firms to secure exclusive deals, such as private funds for customers or lower fees. Younger generations, which will soon be inheriting wealth, are expected to demand more environmentally and socially conscious options, including those that do not just screen out oil companies, but focus on investing in, say, clean energy. A decade ago a client would tend to follow their wealth adviser if he or she moved to a new firm. Exclusive funds make such a switch more difficult.

The winner-takes-all trend may be accelerated by artificial intelligence (AI), on which bigger firms with bigger technology budgets already have a head start. There are three kinds of tools that ai could be used to create. The first take a firm’s proprietary information, such as asset-allocation recommendations or research reports, and spit out information that advisers can use to help their clients. Attempts to build such “enterprise” tools are common, since they are the easiest to produce and pose few regulatory difficulties.

Wealthbots

The second type of tool would be trained on client information rather than companies’ proprietary data, perhaps even listening in on conversations between advisers and clients. Such a tool could then summarise information and create automatic actions for advisers, reminding them to send details to clients or follow up about certain issues. The third kind of tool is the most aspirational. It is an execution tool, which would allow advisers to speak aloud requests, such as purchasing units in a fund or carrying out a foreign-exchange transaction, and have a firm’s systems automatically execute that transaction on their behalf, saving time.

It will take money to make money, then. The biggest wealth managers already have more substantial margins, access to products their clients want and a head start on the technology that might put them even further ahead. “We are a growth company now,” claims Mr Saperstein of Morgan Stanley, a sentence that has been rarely uttered about a bank in the past 15 years. “We are just getting started.”

Yet the two giants atop the industry are both going through periods of transition. ubs has barely begun the open-heart surgery that is required when merging two large banks. Meanwhile, Mr Gorman, architect of Morgan Stanley’s wealth strategy, will retire some time in the next nine months. The succession race between Mr Saperstein, Ted Pick and Dan Simkowitz, two other executives, is already under way. Either firm could falter. Although the two are chasing different strategies, it is surely only a matter of time before they clash. ubs is on an American hiring spree; Morgan Stanley is eyeing expansion in some global markets, including Japan.

And despite the advantages offered by scale, smaller wealth-management firms will be difficult to dislodge entirely. Lots of different outfits have a foothold in the industry, from customer-directed brokerage platforms like Charles Schwab, which also offer their richest customers independent advice from a fiduciary, to asset-management firms, such as Fidelity and Vanguard, which have millions of customers invested in their funds, who might seek out wealth-management advice.

When Willie Sutton, a dapper thief also known as Slick Willie who died in 1980, was asked why he decided to rob banks, he replied that it was simply “because that is where the money is”. This is also a useful aphorism to explain strategy on Wall Street, as firms race to take advantage of the $100trn opportunity in wealth management. Once the business was a sleepy, unsophisticated corner of finance. Now it is the industry’s future. ■

Re: the run rate of the Montecito pile:

I owned a home that was 11,000 square feet on some acearge- tennis court, pool house, extensive gardens, etc.

Our “run rate” for that home was a little over $400K a year. That was taxes, utilities, landscaping and maintenance (there was always something that needed attention).

That did not include staff salaries, food, incidentals, clothing, etc. We had two full time housekeepers, a house manager, a nanny and a gardener.

I cannot imagine having all of their base expenses like those above and then piling on “personal maintenance”- procedures, injectables, extensions, etc…plus her astronomical clothing expenses…plus over the top p.r. retainers!

There is no way they have a positive cash flow. No way. That large sucking sound is their net worth going down the drain.

Thank you for sharing this. Home ownership is no joke, and an estate like the one you had comes with eye watering expenses. Buying the property is the easy part right?

[justiceamberheard]

Pls don’t get all defensive about my question because I’m not defending Johnny!

I saw you made a post about him being racist (which sucked when I heard it, I’m African American😞) but isnt Amber also racist?

I’ve seen pictures of a tweet she made in 2018 about how there was an ICE checkpoint in Hollywood near where she lived and that people should “give their housekeepers, nannies and landscapers and ride home tonight…” then later deleted it (apparently not before people screenshot it).

Idk if you know what ICE is but it’s a component of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), primarily responsible for enforcing federal immigration and customs laws. Making stereotypical remarks like that IS considered racist and insensitive.

I personally don’t like Amber but I DO NOT wanna accuse her of being racist if she isn’t. So if the tweet is fabricated I’d love to know.

Again, I wasn’t trying to argue or defend anyone, i genuinely wanna know. ❤️

I think she wanted to point out the problem, but did it in a totally wrong way.

The Sussex landscape was a picturesque display of autumn at its very best. A carpet of orange, red and yellow leaves covered the ground and crunched satisfyingly under their boots. The house that Cee had grown up in served as backdrop and safehouse. Safe from London, safe from work but safe from family too. Morland was hardly in England these days and her brother’s didn’t have the same attachment to the Holmes Estate as Cee did. Although it was, in many ways, unlived in, just one call ahead from Celia and the floors had been scrubbed, fires lit and one of the larger guest rooms made up for her visit. This has meant an introduction of Seb to the housekeeper who has served as nanny, cook and mother for the Holmes children since Violet had died. She seemed relatively happy in Celia’s choice of partner though. 

After a tour of the grounds and the house, which concluded in Celia’s childhood bedroom which hadn’t changed much from her teenage years, they dressed up warmly, packed their flask of tea and made their way down to the edge of the woods. Cee delighted in telling ghost stories about it; all inherited and passed down the generations and almost all based on real life events. 

One the fence that marked the end of the original parkland (Celia’s great grandfather has since bought almost all the surrounding land, although rented it out to farmers mostly), Seb had lined up a selection of glass bottles and tin cans. Good old fashioned target practice. Cee had a little experience with a gun, having grown up with a hunting, shooting sort of crowd but nothing on what Seb had planned to teach her. Smaller pistols were on the plan for today, a Smith & Wesson M&P fit snugly in her hand but she still winced when she pulled the trigger. The hopes were that Cee would never need to know how to use a gun but when you’re boyfriend spends his days planning murder, you can never be too careful. 

The heiress repositioned herself, closed one eye, took a breath. Seb’s hands settled his hands on ehr shoulders, which was only distracting and just for a second, she forgot to breath. His breath on her neck, his quiet whisper in her ear. She hopes he’s joking. A prickling sense of dread in her stomach tells her, he’s not. She opens her eye again, adjusts and squeezes the trigger. 

It’s her first perfect shot. The bullet makes a satisfying ping as it hits the can. Even though delight and adrenaline rish through her, she managed to keep her cool, leaning back into him and twisting her neck so she can look up at him. “Let’s hope it never comes to that, darling.”

I don't know a whole lot about the whole Depp and Heard thing but if you don't mind can you tell me a bit about their racist remarks or actions? I'm not doubting it happened but I just wanted to know what they did specifically.

When ICE agents were illegally (in illegaly I mean parents being taken away while working which resulted in kids not being picked up from schoolor finding and empty house) deporting and putting hundreds of immigrants into those camps, Amber tweeted saying

"Everyone better give their nannies, housekeepers and landscapers a ride back home"

She got backlash and immediately deleted her tweets before sending out another one suddenly being all like "iS tHiS thE AmEricA wE'rE aImInG for?"
