 From Trust to Loyalty
​A Global Survey of What Investors Want

In this survey, we investigated the level and nature of trust within the investment community, surveying retail investors and institutional investors around the world. We asked how much they trust financial services and how loyal they are to their current investment firms. The findings, including comparisons with the 2013 CFA Institute and Edelman Investor Trust Study, offer investment professionals and firm leaders insights into how to strengthen client relationships and build better firms.
