Report Highlights
Private banks situated within an existing banking network are clearly best
positioned to bring functions closer together, and should look to focus on
those aspects of the network that are of particular interest to this group.
The investment bank in particular should be as integrated as possible.
For many entrepreneurs, particularly those with international business
interests, the global reach of their private bank is an important
consideration. Where possible, wealth managers should develop global
capabilities (often in partnership with the investment bank), and demonstrate
that the bank has knowledge and access to global opportunities.
Private banks therefore need to be aware of M&A activity in business, for
example, as well as understanding the life-cycle of a business, and take the
opportunity to emphasize this aspect of their businesses when approaching
entrepreneurs who are both current and prospective clients.
