How Covid-19 is changing investor perceptions towards investment advice

Daniele Bernardi, CEO of DIAMAN For the wealth management industry, the pandemic and subsequent volatility provoked has shifted investor perceptions towards investment advice, with many now placing more importance on retaining a human-touch within advisory services.
