Description
IIR’s 3rd annual Wealth Management & Family Office congress in Zurich is focused on positioning you, the wealth manager, as trusted advisor and helping you to deliver best practice to your clients – across all areas.
The financial crisis has impacted the sector in many ways: a loss of trust in security of assets, a loss of trust in competence, flawed strategies and the realisation that chasing returns is not enough to achieve client satisfaction. Your service offerings are under increased scrutiny and an ability to truly understand your client and to satisfy their wants and needs, is paramount to your success in these challenging times.
