Understanding the Role of a Wealth Manager: Beyond Immediate Financial Needs
21st June 2024
When people think of financial advice, they often picture a transactional relationship—seeking guidance only when there is a pressing immediate need, such as investing a lump sum or insuring a valuable asset. However, the role of a wealth manager is far more multifaceted and encompasses a broad spectrum of services that can significantly benefit expats and individuals at various stages of life.
What is Wealth Management?
Wealth management is not just about making investment decisions or selecting financial products. It is a comprehensive approach to managing all aspects of a client's financial life. At Brigantia Private Wealth Management, we view wealth management as a holistic process that includes understanding a client's current financial situation, future goals, and the steps needed to achieve those goals. This process involves a thorough review of where clients are in their lives, where they want to go, and identifying any shortfalls, issues, or opportunities that may exist along the way.

A Holistic Approach to Financial Health
Often referred to as a financial health check, our holistic wealth review goes beyond the narrow focus of immediate financial needs. We consider all aspects of a client's life and aspirations, recognising that money is often the means to realise those aspirations. This broad scope ensures that we address not just the immediate financial concerns but also the long-term goals and dreams of our clients.
Tools and Techniques for Precise Planning
To provide clarity and precision in our planning, we employ a range of tools and techniques such as cash flow analysis, financial modelling, and forecasting. These tools help answer often vague questions with greater certainty, enabling more precise and effective planning. By understanding the intricacies of a client's financial situation, we can provide tailored advice that aligns with their unique needs and goals.
The Importance of Regular Reviews
A key aspect of wealth management that is often overlooked is the regular review and assessment of the overall financial plan. Life is dynamic, and circumstances can change, necessitating adjustments to the plan. Regular reviews allow us to track progress towards goals, make necessary tweaks, and ensure that the plan remains relevant and effective. This ongoing process ensures that clients remain on track to achieve their objectives, regardless of any changes that may occur along the way.
Planning First, Products Second
One of the common misconceptions about financial advice is the emphasis on products. Many people focus on the products first and the planning second, but this is the wrong approach. At Brigantia, we introduce products only when they add value or help make progress in the plan, protect against unforeseen events, or offer some other tangible benefit. The primary focus is always on the planning, ensuring that any products used serve the greater purpose of achieving the client's goals.
Conclusion
Wealth management is a comprehensive, ongoing process that involves much more than selecting financial products. It is about understanding a client's entire financial picture, setting goals, and creating a plan to achieve them. This holistic approach ensures that clients receive tailored advice that addresses all aspects of their financial life, providing the clarity and confidence needed to make informed decisions.
