The accredited financial advisory professionals who guide the high-net-worth individuals (HNIs), small-business owners or families with support in retail banking, estate planning vehicles, legal resources, tax management, business-succession or stock-option planning, risk management, investment management, etc are "Wealth Managers".

Importance of wealth manager

Wealth management is an important practice, but not all investors have adequate knowledge of wealth management. Most investors perceive wealth management process to be a smooth ride. This is very different in reality, of course. Markets do not move in a straight direction, and unexpected factors usually get in the way of savings. This is where the expertise of a wealth manager can be put to use.

Wealth managers take advantage of their experience and knowledge, and regularly update and change their client’s investment profile based on where they are in their life cycle, with respect to other surrounding factors.

By examining the historical patterns of the portfolios, wealth managers estimate all possible outcomes around the long-term average return. Here, they measure risk as a probability that you won’t meet your financial goals and consider investing with an exclusive objective of minimizing this risk. This way, risk management becomes a central part of wealth planning process, and the probability of not reaching financial targets gets more attention than short-term losses.
