How Private Wealth Management Works
Most private wealth management wala silang binabayaran na fees pero yung mga wealth manager kumukuha sila nang portion asset nang mga invetors. At nakafocus sya sa dalawang type ng financial advisor which is freebased and traditional commission based advisors. Mostly sa mga firms under private wealth management ay free based kaya mas gusto sila nang mga HNWi since they have a fiduciary duty to their clients where in hindi nag aalok basta basta nang investment na hindi pasok sa need mo as an invetors.
Sa commissioned based advisor naman mas pinupush nila yung mga investors toward front end and back end load mutual funds. Although may online services na hindi available na hindi ganong kamahal mas prefer pa rin nang mga HNWI yung mga pumupunta talaga sila sa mga freebased advisor kahit na may kamahalan since mas wealth personalized sila at mas inuuna nila yung needs ni client.
