  17. INTRODUCING PRIVATE BANKING / WEALTH MANAGEMENT MARKET JASON SHAVEL Some Slides Borrowed and/or edited from Phil Molyneux

  18. DEFINITION OF WEALTH MANAGEMENT & PRIVATE BANKING • Wealth Management: • financial services provided to wealthy clients, mainly individuals and their families , typically with $100,000+ investable assets • deals with managing both the assets & liabilities side of clients’ balance sheets • Private banking: • more exclusive, subset of wealth management, typically with $1 million + of investable assets. • banking services (deposit taking and payments), • discretionary asset management, • brokerage, • limited tax advisory services

  19. WEALTH MANAGEMENT - PRODUCTS • While asset management is a key feature, wealth management has a greater emphasis on financial advice and is concerned with gathering, maintaining, preserving, enhancing and transferring wealth. • Products include: • Brokerage. • Core banking-type products • Lending products (credit cards, mortgages and private jet finance) • Insurance and protection products, • Advice in all shapes and forms: asset allocation, wealth structuring, tax and trusts, various types of planning (financial, inheritance, pensions, philanthropic), family-dispute arbitration – even psychotherapy to children suffering from ‘affluenza’. • A wide range of concierge-type services, including yacht broking, art storage, real estate location, and hotel, restaurant and theatre booking.

  20. CLIENT SEGMENTS • Private banking targets only the very wealthiest clients or high net worth individuals (HNWIs): broadly speaking, those with more than around $1 million in investable assets. • Wealth management, by contrast, targets clients with assets as low as $100,000, i.e. affluent as well as high net worth (HNW) clients.

  21. DEFINING THE WEALTH MANAGEMENT SERVICE PROPOSITION • The following three criteria differentiate a firm as a wealth manager: • The relationship that wealth managers have with their clients, both in terms of breadth (where providers emphasise terms such as ‘holistic’, ‘comprehensive’ and ‘all-inclusive’) and depth (‘intimate’ and ‘individualised’). • The products and services provided, with a particular emphasis on estate planning and multigenerational planning services, as well as tax advisory expertise and alternative investments. • The specific objectives of wealthy clients, such as investment performance, wealth preservation or wealth transfer.

  22. INVESTMENT MANDATES • Custodianfor a client’s assets. That involves, essentially, asset safekeeping, income collection, fund disbursement and associated reporting. • Execution-only mandate, the wealth manager executes, or selects brokers to execute, securities transactions on behalf of the client. Not investment advice, service aimed primarily at self-directed clients. • Advisory mandate • Discretionary mandate

  23. DISCRETIONARY MANDATES • The wealth manager usually has sole authority to buy and sell assets and execute transactions for the benefit of the client, in addition to providing investment advice. Starts off with: • Construction of a brief with the client, detailing investment aims, level of risk-aversion and other factors that will influence the portfolio (In some discretionary accounts, the wealth manager is given only limited investment authority). However, in all cases, major investment decisions, such as changing the account’s investment strategy or asset allocation guidelines, may be subject to the client’s approval. • The wealth manager is generally paid on the basis of a flat-fee arrangement linked to the value of the assets under management.

  24. ONSHORE & OFFSHORE WEALTH MANAGEMENT • Onshore wealth management is the provision of products and services within the client’s main country of residence. • Offshore wealth management, by contrast, serves clients wishing to manage their wealth outside their main country of residence for reasons such as: • financial confidentiality; • legal-system flexibility; • tax considerations; • the lack of appropriate products and services onshore; • a low level of trust in domestic financial markets and governments; and • the need for safety and geographical diversification in response to domestic political and macroeconomic risks. Some clients treat their offshore account(s) primarily as a ‘vault’.

  25. MAIN PLAYERS • Pure private banks • Trust banks • Retail and universal banks • Family offices • Financial advisors • Stockbrokers and wirehouses (US term for large brokerage houses) • Direct banks • Asset managers • Investment banks • Others – insurance companies, accountants, solicitors, financial planners

  26. CONCLUSION • Do you have a million dollars? • Do you want to work with people who have millions of dollars? • If not then Wealth Management is not for you
