The Financial Planning and Advice industry has undergone tremendous growth over the five years to 2019. Greater disposable income, healthy equity and fixed income markets and greater assets under management have propelled industry revenue. Rising employment and disposable income in the US economy have also boosted consumer demand for financial planning services, as individuals seek to grow and retain pools of assets. Over the five years to 2024, revenue is projected to increase as equity and fixed income yields rise. IBISWorld forecasts that the growing number of affluent households and rising equity markets will boost total AUM for the industry and raise revenue generated from management fees. Additionally, the aging of the US population and increased investor uncertainty will heighten demand for financial planning services, as more Americans nearing retirement age will seek professional financial advice.Rocky road: Steady revenue growth is under threat due to macroeconomic conditions continuing to be volatile
