What is the outlook for BEN?

Looking towards the future, BEN has identified 4 key priority markets that include existing customers, millennials, small to medium business and family corporate farms. In FY19, existing customers grew at 0.3 per cent, millennials grew at 453 per cent, small to medium business grew at 5 per cent and family corporate farms grew at 11 per cent. The main victory for BEN within these key markets is strong growth within the millennials market. This has come from BEN targeting this market specifically as it is expected to provide long-term growth for BEN.

The managing director Ms Baker said “As we continue to accelerate the digitisation of our offerings and focus on our priority markets ... establishing and fostering lasting relationships with this younger demographic will deliver significant long-term growth opportunities”.

Targeting millennials encompass one of the main strategies for BEN moving into the long-term that could underpin future growth and cash flow.
