What do they want?
Killik & Co is a wealth manager for families and it focuses on multigenerational clients and propositions. For example, it build products that allow clients to gift easily within their own family.
The objective now is to get Gen Z involved, the first generation of “digital natives”.
Manning described Gen Z as “a generation that does not think their outcomes will be as good as their parents”.

She continued: “We want all generations of the family to be involved in conversations with their Adviser so we are able to help as their needs change throughout life.
“A focus of ours is in learning and education for younger generations in building knowledge, understanding and confidence in saving and investing and in relatable ways.”
