Global Wealth Management Summit 5–6 November 2025 — 1/3

Wealth hubs are in flux — the shifting dynamics between client nationalities, residencies and booking centres.

Countries’ treatment of the ultra-wealthy is beginning to diverge.
While some governments are clamping down on offshore trusts and tightening tax regimes, others are actively luring wealth with attractive residency and incentive schemes.
As families rethink their residency strategies amid geopolitical uncertainty, private banks are expanding local coverage to provide truly tailored support.

This shift was echoed by voices like Michael Kahlich, Ping Ping Lim, Leslie Macleod-Miller — and many others from the US, UK, Europe, Singapore and the UAE — at the FT Global Wealth Management Summit in London.

Clients aren’t asking only where to book assets.
They are asking: „Where will my family belong? Where will my children grow? Which country deserves our trust?„

This is where true wealth management begins.
Not with products, performance charts or tax optimisation — but with understanding life decisions across generations.
Family offices feel this first: identity, legacy, safety, continuity.

True wealth doesn’t pursue the highest return.
It chooses alignment — with purpose, place and people.
And it goes far beyond tax rates or favourable jurisdictions.

Tax efficiency may influence where capital flows — but it does not decide where a family chooses to live, build trust or leave a legacy.

Real wealth management builds a life before it builds a portfolio.
It protects before it grows.
It listens before it speaks.

Being here together with Peter Štadler, representing Wealth Effect Management, only reaffirmed how deeply we share these values — quietly, consistently, without compromise.
