Highlights of this title
The Netherlands' retail customers are not yet convinced by professional financial advice and remain distrustful of financial advisors. However interestingly Dutch consumers are less motivated by trust when making FS decisions and thus a strong agent presence is maintained in the Netherlands.
Belgo-Dutch HNWs are strongly driven by return and look to risky asset classes and more aggressive investment strategies to seek out greater returns.
Over 70% of Belgo-Dutch HNWs are seeking tax advice today, significantly greater than the 50% seen within Europe as a whole.
