Full-Service Investor Satisfaction Study and Self-Directed Investor Satisfaction Study

J.D. Power Retail Investor Satisfaction research spans four segments across the investment advice spectrum  – Full-Service, Digital Advice, Seeking Guidance, and DIY. With the purchase of the Full-Service Satisfaction Study and Self-Directed Satisfaction Study, you will be equipped with the insights needed to be the firm of choice for investors.

The Full-Service Investor Satisfaction Study explores the drivers of satisfaction among investors who primarily work with a financial advisor. Reveals differing preferences and needs that drive satisfaction among different segments of investors, such as affluence (investable assets), age, and gender. Provides subscribers with a broad understanding of how their wealth management firm can improve client satisfaction, loyalty, retention, investment, and advocacy.

The Self-Directed Investor Satisfaction Study examines investor satisfaction with self-directed investment platforms, providing critical insights into the needs, expectations, and desires of today’s self-directed investors. This study helps subscribers to identify best practices for improving satisfaction, loyalty, retention, and advocacy and gain an understanding of dynamics—such as portfolio size and trading activity—that drive satisfaction among different types of investors.
