The wealth management industry saw a sharp slowdown in asset growth in 2018.Individually, wealth managers saw mixed success, with the strongest growth stemming from continued merger and acquisition (M&A) activity.

Market uncertainty dominated the year, with record levels of outflows resulting in several key funds being suspended and heavy losses for investors.The sentiment behind these withdrawals was linked strongly to the Brexit process.

Following the UK's eventual exit from the EU in January 2020, EU rules will continue to apply until a future trade framework is agreed between the UK and the EU - marking a degree of ongoing uncertainty. Against this backdrop, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced rules to stem future liquidity crunches, protecting investors and wealth managers alike.
