The purpose of this seminar is to give you a thorough introduction to the business of “Private Banking” and a good understanding of how the goals and needs of private banking clients can be met through careful financial planning and tailored investment solutions.
We start with a general introduction to private banking. We give an overview of the industry and its players, we discuss the current opportunities in private banking, and we look at the organizational challenges in this type of business. Further, we present various approaches to wealth management, and we explain how the client’s money should be managed according to the client’s situational profile.
We then take a closer look at planning and at asset management process. We explain how financial planning can be used to identify a client’s investment objectives and constraints. Further, we give an overview of asset classes and their characteristics, and we explain how to build the investor’s portfolio in accordance with capital market expectations and investment policy. We also explain how investment performance can be measured, and we discuss possible models for performance-based remuneration.
