Tune in to hear:

In this episode, we discuss why The Great Wealth Transfer is often overstated and we add some nuance to that conversation, how wealth managers should rethink their strategies to better serve the next generation, what product innovations are true innovations and which are overhyped and why next gen investments like tokenization & sports betting may be here to stay, for better or for worse

Quotes

“The generational wealth transfer is the headline, yes it’s 100 Trillion, but don’t forget about the liquidation, don’t forget about the spouse-to-spouse horizontal transfer and don’t forget about healthcare expenses at the end…that [money] will go to the insurance company, not to the kids.” - [03:48] Chip Roame

“On the horizon, we would suggest that…the consolidation of the consolidators…is coming to a station near you soon here. You’re going to wake up someday and Mercer will have bought Mariner, or Mariner will have bought Cap Trust…or something like that. You’re going to see the big firms start merging with each other at some point. Again, if you know history, that’s how the wire houses became the wire houses…so nothing all that unique about predicting the consolidation of the consolidators, but you haven’t really seen it get started yet, so I think that’s going to happen.” - Chip Roame
