About the survey

State Street Investment Management’s Center for Investor Research, in partnership with A2Bplanning and Prodege, conducted a research study from March to May 2024, following a three-phased approach:

Fielded two online surveys among financial advisors and individual investors.

  • In the US, data was collected among 200 financial advisors with AUM of US$25M or more, from May 3–14, 2024
  • In the US and Australia, data was collected among 250 individual investors in each country, who work with a financial advisor and have investable assets (IA) of US$500K or more, from May 3–28, 2024

Building on our foundational 2019 study, the 2024 research examines how model portfolios are positioned to address three key challenges: the commoditization of investment management, rising client expectations for personalized financial advice, and the use of technology to create flexible, dynamic solutions for a changing market.
