development of the wealth management proposition.

entrepreneur market.

Report Highlights
Entrepreneurs are an attractive group for several reasons. The combination of
personal and business concerns means that their financial needs are varied,
encompassing portfolio management, estate planning, corporate finance and
international services. This offers strong business potential for wealth
managers.
Increasingly, wealth management services for entrepreneurs are more likely to
resemble institutional or corporate banking services. Private bankers
recognise that entrepreneurs, particularly those in the wealth creation phase
of their business life cycle, have limited liquidity and are most interested
in strategies for growing their business.
In particular, business owners and entrepreneurs favor private equity and
property investments. More than half of European and Asia-Pacific wealth
managers said that their clients exhibited strong demand for these asset
classes.
