It is our experience that people want to understand if they have enough. To discuss what their lifestyle may look like. Can they be frivolous? Can they gift money? And should they gift money? Should they buy a holiday villa? Should they support a charity? In fact, there are a great number of questions that need flushing out. As for accumulated wealth, you may want to manage more yourself. You may prefer property to other assets. You may be risk-averse. Everyone has their own ideas based on their financial parameters; the last thing want to do is make mistakes.
