Executive Summary

Boomers are nearing retirement while Gen Yers are beginning their independent financial lives. But there are more differences among consumers than just their age. Our analysis of survey responses from Seniors, Boomers, Gen Xers, and Gen Yers shows that they differ in their attitudes, financial portfolios, preferences for interacting on the Web and in the branch, investment styles, and relationships with financial institutions. These differences will force financial services institutions to more explicitly factor generational differences into their strategy.
