Forum looks into utility of wealth management

Sharad Nair, Managing Director, Bank Sarasin-Alpen (ME) Ltd, mentions, "Wealth Managers brain storming new ideas during troubled times is critical for investor confidence, the timing of this summit is excellent."

Jacques Bernard, Chief Investment Officer, National Bonds Corporation shall be presenting the Keynote which will be focused on 'Preserving Capital & Income in the context of a Global Financial Meltdown'. Given the current erosion of trust in financial institutions of all denominations, it is only natural that people's hard earned money is finding its way back to their wallets. Does that mean that wealth management is now an extinct subject? After all, how many of us saw this coming? Maybe we have to find new avenues which are more secure and rewarding to the clients.

Dr. Mubashir A. Sheikh, Managing Director & Regional Head, Middle East and Indian Sub-continent, Fortis Banque (Suisse) S.A. , who is also speaking at the Summit says, "The world of Private Banking has evolved from days of selling mutual funds and structured products only. Clients financial needs require total solution oriented mindset. Institutions that acknowledge this change of paradigm and adapt towards the client centric business model will claim leadership in Wealth Management Industry and will command loyalty form their clients and employees."
