Signs That Your Wealth Manager is a Green Flag
Roping in the services of a reliable wealth manager is much more than research and financial acumen. Attributes of trust, transparency and putting your interest first are signs of a green flag or healthy behaviour that any client would want from a wealth manager. That said, several other signs indicate your wealth is in safe hands. What are these? Let's find out.
- Offers a personalised approach
Wealth management doesn’t follow a one-size-fits-all approach. You are unique and so are your needs. Personalised and bespoke approach where your wealth manager takes time to understand your goals and aspirations and tailoring advice accordingly genuinely reflects a wealth manager’s desire in providing meaningful solutions that cater to your needs.
- Believes in transparent communication
The bedrock of a healthy client-advisor relationship, great wealth managers are transparent in their communication upfront. Transparency exists in fees structure, services provided and any potential conflict of interest. After all, nasty surprises can be a cause of major heartburn. Burying the fine details related to fees, disclosure of investment strategies and portfolio review are not in the dictionary of a great wealth manager.
- Has a well-defined process
Wealth management is not a sprint but a marathon. It warrants a holistic approach and well-defined processes with no room for emotions. A great wealth manager prioritises long-term wealth creation over short-term gains. It can be pretty tempting to follow the herd mentality and invest in financial instruments, with grey regulations, that don’t align with your needs but offer high returns. A well-defined process ensures holistic financial planning, devoid of impulsive decisions based on market noise.
- Puts your interest first
The unwavering commitment to putting your interest over commissions and incentives is a hallmark of a great wealth manager. This commitment results in unparalleled transparency and honesty that remains rock solid over the allure of personal gains. It signals not only competence in managing wealth but also profound deduction in ensuring your financial success and priority.
- Engages in continuous learning
The wealth management landscape is evolving rapidly. A great wealth manager always stays ahead of the curve through constant learning. While certifications from institutions like the National Institute of Securities Market (NISM) reflect academic credibility and competence, a great wealth manager applies innovative techniques and cutting-edge research to optimise your portfolio. Be it navigating regulatory changes or exploring alternative investment strategies, if you find your wealth manager actively involved in learning, you know you will be provided with the highest level of service.
