RBC Wealth Management surveyed 1,000 high-earning and high-net-worth millennials to understand their needs, wants, pain points and preferences when it comes to money management. Here’s what we found:
Eighty-four percent of millennials agree they spend a lot of time thinking about their financial security, but many are unsure of what they need to do to attain it.
