Capturing a millennial client base is becoming increasingly important in the asset management industry as statistics suggest that the flat white-drinking globe-trotting house plant types among us present an often underestimated source of revenue.

But what's also proving important is that investment managers have strong digital or online offerings. Apps and online platforms are a useful gateway for these tech-savvy investors.
