Trust is at the heart of all financial interactions. It is necessary at the system level as well as between clients and advisers. In the 2022 CFA Institute Investor Trust Study, the fifth in our biennial series, we find that investor trust has increased since 2020 across all industries and within financial services.
The study gauges the state of investor trust among retail and institutional investors across 15 geographic markets, and explores the factors influencing trust, such as technology, product innovation, personalization, and sustainability. Firms that embrace these trust enhancers can demonstrate their value and build durable client relationships over market cycles.
This webinar presents an overview of the findings and examines how firms can sustain trust in financial services.
