Wealth Management Strategy/Steering

We will work together with our clients to develop the framework for the new wealth management strategy. The clients’ investment goals, their investment horizon and risk appetites as well as individual wishes and topics will shape the framework and set the “schedule” for each mandate.
The analysis will focus on understanding, assessing and analysing the current structure of the fortune. This helps to create transparency and provide key drivers for the (re-)orientation of the fortune.

The overarching wealth management strategy often needs to cover a long period of time, as the fortune, its future development and its use are meant to reach across several generations. Your personal goals and our results from the client and fortune analysis from the development of the overarching wealth management strategy. Possible effects from global trends are also taken into account.

Depending on your goals, the strategy may include one or more of the following:

• Transparent comparison of several alternative scenarios on the basis of individual guidelines
• Proposals for family and asset organisation and governance
• Discussion of inheritance issues, including execution of a will and establishment of a foundation
• Proposals concerning the strategic asset allocation for both liquid and illiquid fortunes
• Search for suitable managers (“beauty contest”) and investment instruments
• Risk analysis of individual sub-portfolios and the consolidated fortune
• Development of an investment strategy for real-estate, private-equity or other alternative investments

Specialists from other disciplines will be needed for a successful implementation of the overall wealth management strategy and the related measures. As a “manager of managers”, we will support you actively support our clients in all organisational issues related to wealth management:
