Despite the already massive changes of the 21st century — from the rise of a new class of the super-rich to the destruction of established investment practices — many wealth managers are stuck with an old paradigm. Spear’s is perfectly placed to explain the new HNW mindset and lifestyle with characteristic insight, analysis and wit.
Spear’s and the headline sponsor welcome attendees to the event with some opening remarks, during a preliminary 30-minute networking session. The environment will feature branding for the headline sponsor, as well as important positioning within the Wealth Insight Forum event guide, as well as the hosting of the Wealth Insight Forum dinner.
Leading lawyer and Spear’s contributor Robert Amsterdam, founding partner of international law firm Amsterdam and Partners LLP, discusses the geopolitical situation facing HNWs in 2017 and 2018. This will be followed by questions.
With initial comments from the panel sponsor, three high profile figures from the London/UK property scene, will discuss trends they’re seeing in discussion with a Spear’s facilitator. The discussion will last 30 minutes, followed by a 15 minutes question-and-answer session. Topics for discussion will include impact of Brexit over short/longer term values and market trends; the continuing impact of tax/stamp duty agenda on UK prime property and broader topics such as the role London property plays in attracting global wealth creators to the UK. Finally it will address the key trends that HNWs and their intermediaries must be aware of looking towards 2018/19.
London is rightly described as the Silicon Valley of fintech: here a panel of fintech specialist discuss ways that firms like theirs are transforming the industry in the age of Brexit. Following some initial comments from the panel sponsor, big-hitters from the field of Fintech, chaired by a Spear’s journalist, will discuss how Fintech is transforming London’s position as a financial and wealth management centre and the important opportunities that it provides wealth managers of all stripes. We’ll also ask whether all wealth management companies are going to be tech companies and review the sustainability of investment in Fintech: is the market going to get some big winners and losers?
Attendees will have time to network and discuss themes raised above.
