About

Wealth Managers must not only have the technical skills to provide advice to High Net Worth Clients but also the skills and abilities to discover a client’s needs and effectively and profitably deliver holistic solutions. There has been tremendous growth in the number of high net worth clients and a corresponding growth in opportunities for financial institutions and their advisors. Consequently, there has been a greater effort in the industry to create more effective and profitable approaches to providing an integrated and customized service offering to this client base.

What skills will you develop?
