We sampled a subset of 10% of active users that connected their brokerage accounts to Front’s API. The legacy players manage over $20 trillion. The top players?

1️⃣ TD Ameritrade
2️⃣ Fidelity
3️⃣ Charles Schwab

Even though the non-legacy institutions had significantly lower AAUM/User, the question that arises is: Can fintechs catch up in terms of average AUM? Assuming users in new-age, fintech-oriented brokers skew younger and have years of productive earning potential ahead of them, the answer is a resounding yes.

Too Many Brokerages for Investors? What Fintechs Can Learn about How Americans Invest 👇🏼

In a poll conducted by the American Association of Individual Investors, 69% of the 2,464 individual investors polled said that they had at least two brokerage accounts – 13% of the sample reported having four or five accounts; 6% had more than five.

And that’s just brokerage accounts – that doesn’t even consider the millions of new crypto accounts, checking and savings accounts at neobanks, and accounts opened on alternative platforms.

But what if, instead, they could lean back on your tech stack? What if they could simply connect their 401(K), 529, qualified and non-qualified brokerage accounts, checking and savings, alternatives, crypto wallets and exchanges, and everything that lies in between to your product?
