Despite facing significant business challenges, financial advisers are still optimistic about growth prospects, says Natixis Investment Managers survey

Advisers believe AI-enhanced DIY investing tools will be their biggest competitor over the next five years (43%) while only 11% think they will be competing with other advisersAdvisers say reacting emotionally to headlines (58%) is the number one mistake investors are making77% of those surveyed suggest that the upcoming wave of adviser retirements is an opportunity to grow their assets

LONDON and BOSTON, June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Despite conflict in the Middle East, a global energy shock, geopolitical realignment and interest rate uncertainty, financial advisers remain optimistic about what can be achieved in the years ahead. According to Natixis Investment Managers’ 2026 Finance Adviser’s survey, investment professionals still expect to grow assets under management by 11.9% over the next year and are projecting an average annual asset growth of 12.8% over the next three.

However, it won’t be easy. In order to meet these growth targets advisers will need to contend with a range of structural challenges facing the industry from new technologies, to new competition, to ageing demographics, and it can be hard to tell which hurdles need to be cleared first if advisers are going to succeed.

Natixis IM surveyed 2,950 investment professionals across 23 countries, providing insight into adviser’s growth strategies, their challenges, and how they are adapting their business to market fluctuations. 

Keeping clients invested in uncertain times

As advisers look to respond to the current volume and velocity of change, one of the first things they will need to address is retaining assets they’ve already earned, as 74% of advisers report that clients feel unnerved by current market uncertainty and want to hold more cash as a result.

This will not be an easy job, as investor concern has been growing for some time and market narratives can lead clients to make rash decisions. A result, advisers say reacting emotionally to headlines is the number one mistake investors are making (58%). Advisers also recognise emotions can run high on good news as well as bad. With markets hitting record highs and Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) from SpaceX and OpenAI, advisers caution that chasing returns and market timing (49%) can be a costly mistake, as are unrealistic return expectations (50%).

Finding opportunities and efficiencies in Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Of all the potential disruptions facing advisers, artificial intelligence may have the greatest impact on client portfolios and advisory practices. When it comes to the market, few advisers see AI-fuelled growth slowing anytime soon. In fact, three in four advisers (76%) believe the AI trade still has a long way to run and 69% think AI has the potential to drive markets for the next 20 years.

In terms of their own practices, AI usage is also ramping up. 80% think those who adopt AI will have a competitive advantage and even at this early juncture, 71% of advisers say they are already implementing this new technology in their practice. Overall, 74% say AI can free them up to spend more time with clients, with 61% saying they are using AI to write emails, take meeting notes and send out educational materials. Many are also finding that AI can help streamline the investment decision-making process, with 56% using it to summarise market commentary and economic data and 40% deploying AI for portfolio and risk analysis.

There is clear potential for AI to drive efficiency and a firm appetite to match, as 48% report feeling pressured by their firm to use AI. However, a majority (68%) say implementing AI into their existing workstreams has been more challenging than expected.

Digitalisation is changing advisers’ competition base

Even if it may enhance adviser capabilities, the increasing sophistication of AI models are also posing a significant competitive threat. Roughly half of Millennials (49%) and 40% of Gen Xers1 say they prefer digital advice to traditional in-person models. 47% of Millennials and 41% of Gen Xers are also most likely trust algorithms when getting financial advice. 

As a result, advisers predict that in five years’ time, improved tools for self-directed investors will be their biggest competition (43%) compared to only 11% who think they will be competing with other advisers.

However, only 30% believe it will put them out of business. While it may be tempting to turn to an AI agent for advice, 73% of advisers say investors are taking unnecessary risks in doing so. One probable concern may be the quality of the prompts that individuals enter into AI systems, and the propensity for AI to hallucinate. As such, advisers are quick to differentiate the service they provide. Overall, 82% say they are focusing on personal relationships and their fiduciary responsibility when they position their value for clients compared to AI.

Adapting to a changing client base

Advisers have good reason for concern about the digital threat, especially when they look to add younger investors to their client rosters. As with many populations around the world, an ageing client base presents a longer-term challenge to firms as the interest of older investors alter and wealth changes hands.

Yet, younger clients are still under-represented in adviser practices, with those under 45 making up just over one-third of the base. Advisers know they need new strategies to win younger investors: 43% are integrating digital tools into their offering and 44% are adding specialised services that appeal to this new client base, such as strategies for getting on the property ladder and student debt management.

When it comes to prospecting, advisers are also starting to explore new avenues, with one-third (33%) now using social media as a way to reach a younger client base.

Younger clients. Younger advisers

It’s not just clients who are getting older. Advisers are also ageing out of the industry, forcing many to consider how key issues like business valuation and succession planning will impact their exit strategies.

Nearly eight in ten (77%) of advisers globally say this wave of adviser retirements is a significant opportunity to grow business. Yet this transition requires specialised business planning. When asked what the best model is for transitioning a practice, the overwhelming preference is for naming an internal successor (62%). However, 51% say that they are struggling to hire younger advisers to replace those retiring.

Darren Pilbeam, Head of UK Sales Natixis IM, said: “Advisers are facing a number of disruptors as the industry contends with short term challenges presented by an uncertain market as well as larger structural shifts as a result of AI, digital competition, ageing clients and a wave of industry retirements. In the near term they will need to focus efforts on reassuring investors facing uncertainty, but to succeed in the long run the number one factor for advisers will be demonstrating the value they bring that goes beyond asset allocations.”

“For years, DREO has focused on advancing air comfort through stronger performance, thoughtful product design and seamless connectivity,” said Olivia Xu, Chief Marketing Officer at DREO. “Today marks the next step in that journey. We believe the future of home comfort will not be defined by smarter individual products alone, but by continuously rethinking how people experience air in everyday life. From purification and heating to intelligent home air management, every innovation we introduce is designed to make home comfort more intuitive, adaptive and personal.”

New Flagship DREO Air Purifier 530S with TurboPure™ Technology Delivers a More Intuitive Purification Experience

Leading DREO’s new air purification lineup, the flagship DREO Air Purifier 530S is built around the Ultimate TurboPure™ Purification System. Combining an all-new airflow system, 3-in-1 HEPA Pro filtration, intelligent sensing and AI-powered RGBIC lighting, the DREO Air Purifier 530S delivers powerful purification while creating a more intuitive way for users to understand and interact with indoor air quality.

All-new airflow system. The Air Purifier 530S features an elevated design that creates true 360° air intake, helping capture dust and pet hair closer to the floor. A newly developed spiral intake guides incoming air in the same rotational direction as the impeller, reducing turbulence before it reaches the fan. Clean air is then released evenly through a 360° outlet to improve circulation throughout the room.3-in-1 HEPA Pro filtration. A True HEPA filter captures 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.3 μm under the IEST standard, while the replaceable FiberCatch™ layer traps larger debris including dust and hair for easier maintenance. The filtration system also incorporates 130 g of modified activated carbon, four times the capacity of the previous generation, to improve odor removal from pets, cooking and everyday indoor living.Intelligent sensing and visibility. The Air Purifier 530S integrates a real-time PM2.5 sensor with Auto Mode to continuously monitor indoor air quality and automatically adjust purification performance. An AI-powered RGBIC light ring visualizes changes in air quality from anywhere in the room while also supporting personalized lighting effects, combining functional feedback with ambient home aesthetics.

Independently verified by AHAM, the DREO Air Purifier 530S delivers a Clean Air Delivery Rate of 221 m³/h, covering approximately 19 m² at 4.8 air changes per hour or spaces up to 90 m² at one air change per hour. With HyperSilent™ Technology, noise levels are reduced to as low as 18 dB in Sleep Mode, enabling quiet operation in bedrooms and during overnight use.

The DREO Air Purifier 530S also supports smart control through the DREO App, Amazon Alexa and Google Home, enabling users to remotely manage purification, create schedules with minute-level precision and review up to 30 days of air quality history. An intelligent filter life algorithm estimates replacement timing based on actual air quality, fan speed and usage, helping simplify everyday maintenance.

Alongside the DREO Air Purifier 530S, DREO is also showcasing the DREO Air Purifier 539S, DREO Air Purifier 539AS, DREO Air Purifier 338S and DREO Air Purifier Macro Max AS, offering solutions for different room sizes and home environments across the European market.

DREO Air Intelligence Advances Home Wellness Through AI and Connected Air Comfort

Beyond its latest product innovations, DREO is introducing DREO Air Intelligence, an AI-powered air system designed to make home wellness more adaptive through AI and connected air comfort. Rather than relying solely on preset routines, DREO Air Intelligence combines physical comfort models with internationally recognized PMV/PPD thermal comfort science to understand changing home environments, interpret multiple environmental signals and intelligently coordinate compatible DREO air comfort products. By connecting environmental sensing, intelligent decision-making and device coordination, DREO Air Intelligence enables air products to respond more naturally to people’s changing needs at home.

DREO Air Intelligence is built around three core experiences:

Home Wellness Score: Combines thermal comfort, air quality, rest environment and water-related wellness signals into a single score from 0 to 100, giving users an at-a-glance understanding of their home environment and clear visibility into areas that may need attention. Thermal comfort is evaluated using internationally recognized PMV/PPD models, going beyond raw temperature to estimate how a room actually feels by accounting for humidity, airflow, activity level and clothing factors.Energy Saving Status: Uses AI optimization to intelligently adjust device operation and compare energy consumption with and without AI optimization. Results are presented in terms of electricity saved, estimated cost savings and reduced carbon emissions, making energy efficiency more visible, measurable and easier to understand.Home Air Pilot: Continuously monitors changes in the home environment, analyzes surrounding conditions and intelligently coordinates compatible DREO air comfort products to optimize comfort, air quality and energy efficiency. When the system can make reliable decisions, Home Air Pilot proactively adjusts device operation. When personal preferences are involved, users remain fully in control.

Designed with an open ecosystem in mind, DREO Air Intelligence supports Matter-enabled devices, allowing compatible products to work together more seamlessly across the connected home. As DREO continues to expand its connected ecosystem, DREO Air Intelligence represents the company’s vision for making home wellness more adaptive through AI and connected air comfort.

Next-Generation Heating Technologies Introduce Adaptive Airflow for Home Heating

DREO showcased its latest heating technologies, led by AutoShift™ Technology, a new airflow innovation built around an adaptive lifting structure that automatically raises and lowers the upper air guide to transition between Focused Heating and 360° Whole-Room Heating. By physically changing how warm air is delivered, AutoShift™ enables a single heating system to adapt to different heating scenarios, providing concentrated warmth for personal comfort or balanced heat distribution throughout the room without requiring users to manually switch between different heating modes.

The adaptive lifting structure works together with a newly developed airflow architecture to continuously reshape airflow as it moves, creating two distinct heating experiences within a single system. The result is a more responsive approach to home heating that adapts naturally to different spaces, activities and everyday routines, while maintaining consistent heating performance throughout each transition.

DREO also showcased its latest fanless convection heating technology, extending its heating innovation with a quieter solution designed to deliver more even and longer-lasting warmth through natural heat circulation. Together, these latest heating technologies reflect DREO’s continued focus on advancing airflow innovation to create more adaptive home comfort experiences.

DREO Brings Industry Leaders Together to Explore the Future of Home Wellness

As part of its “AIR, Mastered” showcase at IFA 2026, DREO hosted the IFA Dream Stage panel, “How Air, Connectivity and Intelligence Bridge the Last Mile of Home Wellness,” bringing together leaders from the connectivity, smart home and digital health industries to explore how AI, open ecosystems and intelligent air management can create more adaptive and human-centered home wellness experiences.

Moderated by Anna Heim, Freelance Journalist and Moderator at TechCrunch, the discussion featured Tobin Richardson, President and CEO of the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), Martin Müller, Sales Director and General Manager, Europe at DREO, and Spiros Andreou, Head of Global Industry & Technology Partnerships at Polar. Together, the panel explored how the industry can move beyond basic device connectivity toward intelligent systems that better understand home environments, coordinate across devices and respond to people’s everyday needs.

Highlighting DREO’s vision for the future of home wellness, Martin Müller said, “People rarely think about the air around them until something feels wrong. Yet it influences how we sleep, work, recover and live every day. The future of home wellness begins with making air more intelligent.”

The panel also highlighted the importance of open interoperability and cross-industry collaboration in enabling the next generation of connected home experiences. Richardson emphasized that Matter provides a foundation for devices to work together seamlessly, allowing the industry to focus on creating better user experiences rather than simply connecting products. Andreou added that bringing together environmental intelligence and physiological insights creates new opportunities to better understand people’s everyday wellbeing and deliver more personalized home wellness experiences.

The discussion reflects DREO’s continued commitment to working with industry partners to advance a more open, intelligent and connected future for home wellness.

DREO Continues to Expand Its Presence Across Europe

Europe has become one of DREO’s fastest-growing markets, with sales volume increasing 142% year over year in the first half of 2026 and revenue growing 156%, further strengthening the company’s momentum across key markets including Germany, the United Kingdom and France.

The United Kingdom has become one of DREO’s strongest-performing markets, where the company has ranked No. 1 on Amazon UK in both the Tower Fan and Space Heater categories for two consecutive years, accounting for 22% of the Amazon UK tower fan market and 15% of the space heater market. Building on its online success, DREO expanded into offline retail through Argos in 2025 and has since built a retail and online network spanning 71 channels across 16 European countries. Key retail partners across major European markets include Argos, Costco UK, Currys and Boots in the UK; Expert, Euronics and MediaMarkt in Germany; Fnac Darty and Leroy Merlin in France; Fnac, Leroy Merlin, MediaMarkt and Bauhaus in Spain; and Euronics, MediaWorld and Unieuro in Italy.

“Europe continues to be one of DREO’s most important growth markets,” said Martin Müller, Sales Director and General Manager, Europe at DREO. “We remain committed to investing in product innovation, local partnerships and long-term market development to deliver intelligent air comfort experiences that better serve European consumers.”

Building on this momentum, DREO will continue expanding its European business through product innovation, broader retail availability and a growing connected ecosystem, further advancing its vision of intelligent home wellness powered by DREO Air Intelligence.

DREO’s latest innovations are showcased throughout IFA 2026 at Hall 9, Stand 130, where visitors can experience the new DREO Air Purifier lineup, explore DREO Air Intelligence, preview next-generation heating technologies, and discover DREO’s latest air comfort portfolio designed for the European market.
