The Global Wealth Management Summit is back, and it's bigger and more essential than ever. From 8-9 November 2023, this flagship event, organised by FT Live and PWM, will unite private banks, family offices, and wealth managers at the prestigious Sheraton Grand London Park Lane. The two-day summit will bring together industry leaders to discuss effective investment and business strategies and address the transformative changes affecting the world of wealth management.

 

In the midst of an ever-evolving global landscape, wealth management faces unprecedented challenges. US-China tensions and recent banking collapses have left the industry in flux, placing considerable strain on professionals and their clients. Portfolio managers are seeking respite in alternative allocation strategies, while private markets are becoming increasingly accessible to clients. However, the adoption of digital assets is still facing regulatory roadblocks.

On the business front, the pressure is mounting for wealth management professionals to carve out a competitive advantage amid fee erosion and mounting compliance costs. Strategy-focused executives are increasingly required to develop data capabilities for hyper-personalised client engagement. Traditional private banks are actively positioning themselves for strategic partnerships with fintech companies to stay ahead in an industry disrupted by technology.

 

The event will feature engaging panel discussions, debates, and interactive masterclasses. Attendees will have the opportunity to delve into governance issues relevant to leaders across the executive board and explore the implications of a volatile macroeconomic backdrop for investors.

Laura Fuss of Decisive Capital Management, a past attendee, has praised the event’s "number of varying panels and quality of speakers".
