Wealth Management
Is not Product Guidance
During the past 30 years, access to financial markets has been successfully democratized with the help of technology and the internet. Anyone can now open an account at a variety of discount and retail brokerage firms and gain access to well-constructed, low-cost investment products coupled with product guidance and account service help. But call-center employees offering product guidance and account service help is not the same as wealth management professionals solving the complex and deeply nuanced problems we all have with preserving, protecting, growing and transferring our wealth.
Wealth Management
is Multi-Disciplinary
The enduring truth of wealth management is that successfully preserving, protecting, growing and transferring wealth is a multi-disciplinary challenge of continual problem-solving. Like so many other aspects of modern life and career fields, wealth management has become much more complex. The complexity requires the advanced education and training, deeper experience, and lifelong career commitments of wealth management professionals.
Wealth Management
Helps Solve Problems
Wealth Management Requires
Breadth and Depth-of-Field
The wealth management body of knowledge covers more than 100 subject matter areas, each discipline of which represents an extensive body of knowledge and can easily develop into a career path of its own. As a result, managing wealth becomes a multi-disciplinary endeavor. Look for wealth management professionals whose education, professional training and experience combines breadth and depth-of-field.
Wealth Management Requires
Integrity and Commitment
There are markers for integrity and commitment. Career wealth management professionals will subject themselves to the highest legal standards of fiduciary client care and adhere to professional codes of ethics that create career jeopardy for acts of bad faith. Look for the standards to which they are willing to adhere. Look for wealth management professionals who adhere to these standards of professional conduct
