 The firms that make clients the happiest face a challenge in getting millennials to stick with them. That's the key takeaway from J.D. Power's 2018 U.S. Full Service Investor Satisfaction Study. The survey also identified out what hard-to-please millennials are going to demand as they come to dominate the marketplace — lots of personal interaction, not just high-tech tools. Financial firms were ranked based on a December survey of 4,419 investors who work with financial advisers for at least some of their investments. Firms were measured on a 1,000-point scale based on how they fared in categories including account information, investment performance, firm interaction, product offerings, commissions and fees, information resources and problem resolution. No. 10: Northwestern MutualScore: 839 With a score that came in precisely at the average of all firms, Northwestern Mutual made it to the Top 10. If it's any consolation, the firm's score was higher than the 838 that won Schwab top honors last year. The Northwestern Mutual is an American financial services mutual organization based in Milwaukee. The financial security company provides consultation on wealth and asset income protection, education planning, retirement planning, investment advisory services, trust and private client services, estate planning and business planning. Its products include life insurance, disability income, and long-term care insurance; annuities; investments; and investment advisory products and services.
