The Changed Circumstances of Relationship Managers 7
The world that relationship managers inhabit has changed dramatically 7
The majority of banks in Europe and Asia Pacific are still focused on retention rather than attracting RMs 7
The expectation is that the average salary for RMs will increase only modestly in 2010 12
How Wealth Managers can Keep and Motivate Relationship Managers 18
Wealth managers are attempting to improve RM retention and realize that non-financial factors are important to bankers 18
Private banks have been trying everything from forgivable loans to promoting work-life balance to help retain and motivate staff 18
Wealth managers recognize that a number of non-pay factors need to be addressed to successfully retain RMs 18
In many countries in APAC, non-financial factors are particularly important in retaining RMs 21
In many European countries, basic pay is at the forefront of RMs' minds 22
Datamonitor highlights three areas which are key to keeping and motivating RMs now 24
Key recommendation: put in place formal career development programs for RMs 25
Key recommendation: teach management the importance of communication 25
Key recommendation: seek to bolster banking brands 26
