Toby Potter, chair of IMAP, said: “The growth rate in managed accounts is accelerating to the point where it is approaching 40% per year. This growth is up from approximately 30% per annum as recently as June 2021.
“The increased use of managed accounts – MDA and SMA - is a good thing not just for the value added in dollar terms, but because it is achieved through personal advice provided to clients. The value which the systematic approach of managed accounts embodies is even more critical in the worldwide crisis we are currently facing.”
