Wealth Management with a Difference - by April Rudin & Nick Rice (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A unique playbook for success for wealth managers and financial advisors in the face of sweeping generational change

There are hundreds of thousands of financial advisors globally serving clients whose needs are undergoing a revolution. Generational shifts are transforming how these clients approach money, spanning values, technology, investing, and even politics. Younger investors and women are creating wealth, inheriting tens of trillions of dollars from relatives, and accumulating money as they move closer to retirement.

In Wealth Management with a Difference: Your Guide to Achieving Client, Generational, and Business Success, global financial services veterans April Rudin and Nick Rice show how advisors and wealth managers can serve these growing needs and position themselves at the heart of families and their legacies. Each chapter explores a generational opportunity for wealth managers and advisors globally, ranging across financial planning, investing, technology, and management strategy.

The authors summarize each opportunity, how they are likely to evolve, and what they mean for your clients and your business. You'll find:

• Comments from over eighty experts around the world across opportunities underscoring their global relevance
• Action points for wealth management firms and financial advisors
• Visuals and charts illustrating and illuminating the trends discussed

"Wealth Management With a Difference offers a refreshing and necessary perspective on how wealth management must evolve if it is to cater to a new generation of clients and professionals."
--DORIS MEISTER, Former Chair and CEO of Wilmington Trust

"The standard divide between wealth preservation and generation no longer holds. A volatile macro landscape requires active money management that takes into account new geographies, industries and asset classes to achieve growth. For private wealth, this is both a duty and an opportunity. April and Nick's book looks at how wealth managers can expand their horizons and achieve success for their clients and their businesses in this new era."
--PARAG KHANNA, Founder and CEO of AlphaGeo, International Bestselling Author
