The Millennial Millionaire: What Financial Services Companies Should Know
Burke recently conducted a study to gain deeper insights into an often-overlooked, yet rapidly growing, demographic – Millennial Millionaires (MM).
Join Fred Gaudios (VP, Client Services) as he discusses key insights from this research with host John Thomas (CCO).
Why study Millennial Millionaires?
- Over 600,000 MM in the US in 2019 – likely a much larger group today
- May differ from traditional 401(k) millionaires, often opting for diverse investments like businesses and cryptocurrencies
- Poised to significantly influence markets
- Often overlooked in millionaire surveys
As this demographic continues to grow, financial services companies will need a better understanding of the needs and behaviors of this emerging, influential group.
