    Wealth Management and Private Banking Connecting with clients and reinventing the value proposition 2015 Contents This document provides a perspective on the evolution of client value propositions in Wealth Management & Private Banking 3 Foreword 4 Scope and reach 6 Snapshot of key messages 8 Executive Summary 16 Strategic priorities 20 Products and services 26 Channels 36 Pricing 40 Our International Wealth Management & Private Banking practice at a glance 41 Our services 42 Key contributors 43 Contacts 2 Foreword Dear Readers, Deloitte and Efma are pleased to present you the results of our recent survey, providing a perspective on the evolution of client value propositions in Wealth Management and Private Banking. We invite you to consider the challenges facing the industry and how players are adapting their value proposition and connecting with clients in the new landscape. In the past few years, the Wealth Management and Private Banking industries have changed significantly. The financial crisis has increased investors’ sensitivity to risk, and the current low yield environment has made it more challenging to meet investors’ expectations of returns while limiting risk. In addition, the pressure for global tax transparency from governments around the world to crack down on tax evasion and tax fraud, has caused a significant shift from offshore to onshore wealth. The frontiers of demand are also being pushed beyond traditional borders, with emerging market players entering developed markets to follow their clients, and developed market players seeking growth outside of their home markets. This has resulted in volume losses (e.g. wealth repatriation) and/or decreased revenue margins as fiscal arbitrages have become obsolete and competition for onshore assets has increased.
