Educated, mistrustful and conservative with money, millennials are different

They’ve grown up on the internet, in the age of globalization and have witnessed the September 11 terrorist attacks, the 2008 housing bust, the financial meltdown that followed and social upheaval at home and abroad. They are savvy, skeptical and ready to leave their mark. Why should financial advisors keep their eye on millennials? Because sooner rather than later, they will be running the world.
