Find Out If You Need a Wealth Manager




How does wealth management work?


In a time where financial instability is a huge concern, you may be wondering, “How does wealth management work?” This is a great question. When you start building wealth, the last thing you want to do is put it in a savings account that doesn’t make any interest.

In contrast, wealth managers make your assets and wealth work for you.

Sounds too good to be true? Keep reading while we explain wealth management and how it can benefit your finances.

What Is Wealth Management?


Wealth managers help you not only save your wealth but also build upon it. They look at your financial goals and help you pursue financial freedom and security. Wealth managers help you manage your assets, invest wealth, and preserve wealth for future generations.


A wealth manager will help you set up an investment plan that suits your goals and risk tolerance. They can advise you on how to achieve your goals by providing specific investment recommendations. They’ll help you make informed decisions about how your money is being invested.


Wealth Management Process


If you want to understand how wealth management works, here are the steps that a wealth manager will take:


  1. Meet with you to understand your goals, needs, and financial situation.

  2. Research investment options to find those that align with your goals and needs.

  3. Create an investment plan based on your preferences, goals, and risk tolerance.

  4. Collaborate with you and make sure you’re comfortable with your plan.

  5. Manage your investments over time.

  6. Monitor your financial progress and make changes as needed.


You’ll be in communication with your wealth manager throughout the whole process to ensure your needs are met.


How Is a Wealth Manager Different from a Financial Planner?


While financial planners consider a broader vision of your finances—from insurance to everyday expenses—wealth managers might only focus on assets, investments, will and trust services, and estate planning.


At What Point Do You Need a Wealth

Manager?


The higher your assets are, the less you’ll have to pay a wealth manager. That’s why typically only affluent people invest in wealth management. Wealth managers typically only serve high-net-worth individuals (HNWI), which is those with over $750,000 in assets. (+) (+)

Are Wealth Management Fees Worth it?


The truth is: It’s impossible to be an expert in everything. Wealth managers take the financial stress off your shoulders by giving you the knowledge and advice you need to continue building your wealth responsibly.


However, if you’re not a high-net-worth individual, wealth management fees are probably not worth it. In those cases, you can seek a financial planner.


What Are the 4 Pillars of Wealth Management?




Key Takeaways:


  1. Wealth management is for affluent people who need comprehensive wealth management services.

  2. Your wealth management plan will be specific to your financial goals and needs.

  3. Wealth managers help you invest and build your wealth.
