In this key position, they will in effect become the monopoly supply to the wealthy household, barring third party requirements like legal and certain types of tax advice. There is an existing route that takes wealth managers a long way down the road in achieving this dream, Celent, the Boston-based financial research firm argues, in a new advisory note. 5 Jan 2009 22:49:00 GMT Fund of funds group hires chief investment officer http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22806 5 Jan 2009 22:49:00 GMT Smith and Williamson acquires 'significant' stake in Singapore firm http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22804 5 Jan 2009 22:49:00 GMT ANALYSIS: High leverage could yet return to haunt Europe's banks http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22803 5 Jan 2009 22:49:00 GMT ARC Private Client Indices fall for fourth consecutive quarter http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22801 5 Jan 2009 22:49:00 GMT Third quarter will be tipping point, says JP Morgan Asset strategist http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22800 5 Jan 2009 22:49:00 GMT Wealth management a turn-off term for some clients http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22799 5 Jan 2009 23:04:00 GMT JP Morgan AM transfers UK products onto single platform with Bravura http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22797 5 Jan 2009 03:33:00 GMT Obama plans $300 billion of tax cuts to 'stimulate' the economy http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22796 5 Jan 2009 03:33:00 GMT Standard Bank makes offshore distribution appointment http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22795 5 Jan 2009 03:33:00 GMT Citi's non-resident Indian team defects to RBC Wealth Management http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22794 5 Jan 2009 03:33:00 GMT UK wrap platform expands with three IHT Trust plans http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22793 5 Jan 2009 03:33:00 GMT British super-rich see £200 billion collapse in wealth http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22792 5 Jan 2009 03:33:00 GMT Offshore law firm makes record number of partners including head of trusts http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22791 5 Jan 2009 03:33:00 GMT Bank Sarasin embarks on new family office venture http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22790 5 Jan 2009 03:33:00 GMT London wealth management recruitment specialist adds head-hunter http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22789 5 Jan 2009 03:33:00 GMT China's largest fund manager targets 25 percent growth in HNW assets for 2009 http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22788 5 Jan 2009 03:33:00 GMT WEALTH MANAGEMENT: The wealth manager's survival kit http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22787 4 Jan 2009 22:52:00 GMT UBS profits from Bank of China stake http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22786 4 Jan 2009 22:52:00 GMT £60,000 wiped off average family's wealth http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22785 4 Jan 2009 22:52:00 GMT Brown poised to help savers, not bail out banks http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22784 4 Jan 2009 22:52:00 GMT ANALYSIS: 2008 - If nothing else, a good year for thewealthnet's forecasts http://www.thewealthnet.com/page_fullstory.php?articleid=22783 As we have pointed out on innumerable occasions, forecasting is a facile occupation, especially when dealing with very complex systems such as global financial markets. Moreover 2008 posed a number of additional difficulties courtesy of the fast developing credit crunch. To put it another way, there were a lot of known unknowns and unknown unknowns to grapple with. Nonetheless, this did not deter thewealthnet from articulating a number of explicit forecasts in addition to a finely nuanced discussion on the wider economic and financial environment within which the wealth management sector would have to operate. And yes this did include the possibility of a financial Armageddon, although the hope was that some deus ex machina would prevent this outcome.
