The Day of Your Appointment- Things To Do

1. Make sure you know where you are going. Arrive early so you can “get yourself together, take a deep breath”.

Do not loiter. If you are too early, stay SECURELY in the general area but not in the bank
parking lot! 

2. Remember to get in and get the EXCHANGE done, there a lot of other people behind you in line so be thoughtful of their time as well.

You will have time for questions at your second appointment with your new Private Banker/Wealth Manager.

Be prepared to uphold it!

If you break the terms, you could lose your newfound wealth.

If the NDA is more complex and you  are not comfortable with it, simply let them know you would like to explore your options with another banking institution. They may or may not waive the NDA.

How to Deal With Sudden Wealth Syndrome and Manage Newfound Riches

From Recaps Archives

How to Deal With Sudden Wealth Syndrome and Manage Newfound Riches

By Amy Livingston

A lot of people have fantasized about suddenly striking it rich. They imagine that a financial windfall – inheriting a fortune from a distant relative, collecting royalties for a best-selling novel, or even winning the lottery – would make all their dreams come true. They picture themselves traveling the world, lounging on beaches, sipping champagne under blue skies while palm trees wave in the breeze.

But when this dream of sudden wealth actually comes true, it often turns into a nightmare. Instead of feeling happy and carefree, people who get rich quickly tend to become stressed and anxious. Their relationships often suffer too, as the money creates distance between them and the people they were once close to.

Sometimes, the newly wealthy try to comfort themselves by going on a wild spending spree. Unfortunately, this often makes matters worse. If the money isn’t as limitless as they thought, their newfound wealth quickly disappears, leading to even more stress.

These problems are so common that psychologists have given them a name: “sudden wealth syndrome.”

Now, maybe you think that if you came into a fortune, you’d be able to avoid these problems – or at least that you’d love the chance to try. But sudden wealth syndrome can happen to anyone, and it’s important to be aware of the problem. That way, if you ever find yourself with a windfall, you’ll know what symptoms to watch out for and how to head them off.

What Sudden Wealth Syndrome Means

Sudden wealth syndrome can damage your life in several different ways. It can lure you into reckless investments or overspending, which can leave you worse off financially than you were before the windfall. It can also cause mental and emotional stress as you struggle to adjust to your new lifestyle. And finally, it can put a strain on your relationships with others – both old and new. 

Effects on Finances

Ironically, gaining too much wealth too quickly can hurt your finances in the long run. People who acquire large sums of money all at once, rather than building it up over time, often lack the skills needed to manage it wisely. They don’t have a good sense of what things really cost or how much they should expect to pay in taxes. They simply assume they can spend as much as they want – and by the time they realize they’re wrong, they’ve often run through most or even all of their new fortune.

This problem shows up with all different kinds of financial windfalls, including:

Lottery Winnings. A famous 2010 study in the Review of Economics and Statistics looked at nearly 35,000 people who won between $50,000 and $150,000 in the Florida lottery. It found that within five years after their wins, more than 1,900 had filed for bankruptcy. This made the bankruptcy rate for lottery winners in Florida nearly twice as high as regular Florida residents.

Inherited Wealth. A 2012 study in the Journal of Family and Economic Issues found that people who inherit large sums in their twenties, thirties, and forties only save about half the money. They either spend the rest or lose it through poor investments.

Short-Term Income. Even people who earn their riches don’t always know how to put them to good use. A 2015 paper in the American Economic Review looked at NFL players drafted in the late 1990s and early 2000s, who earned more in a six-year career than most people do in a lifetime. It found that 15% of them had filed for bankruptcy within 12 years after retirement. Depending on how you measure, that rate is either close to or much higher than the typical bankruptcy rate for men their age – most of whom earn much less.
 
Effects on Emotions

Even when people know how to handle a windfall financially, they can’t always handle it emotionally. Sudden wealth often brings with it a range of new and unpleasant feelings, such as:

Shock. The newly rich have trouble believing the money is really theirs. Sometimes, they’re afraid to tell anyone about their good fortune because they don’t quite believe it.

Guilt. They feel like they don’t truly deserve the money. Often, they notice that others envy their good fortune, and this makes them feel upset and lonely.

Uncertainty. Instead of feeling empowered by their new wealth, they feel paralyzed. They have trouble making even the smallest decisions about what to do with the money.

Anxiety. They fear their newfound wealth will somehow vanish just as suddenly as it appeared. They often develop what therapist Stephen Goldbart calls “ticker shock” – watching the stock market obsessively to make sure their new fortune isn’t losing value.

Goldbart, who often works with the wealthy, says in an interview with WebMD that the newly rich often face an “identity crisis” – especially if they’re still fairly young. Because they no longer need to work for a living, they feel cut off from their peers in the workforce. They aren’t sure how to see themselves as “retired” when their working lives have hardly begun. By contrast, people who strike it rich in their fifties and sixties often handle it better, partly because it’s seen as normal for people to accumulate wealth as they age.

Effects on Relationships

Just as the newly wealthy begin to feel uncertain about themselves, others in their lives often act differently towards them. Close friends and family members often resent their good fortune and treat them with rudeness or disdain, and the newly wealthy feel lonely and isolated as their old friends pull away.

Meanwhile, other people in their lives start acting more friendly and affectionate than before. Instead of easing the loneliness, this show of affection often makes it worse, because they suspect these people are interested in the money and not in them.

They imagine these people are hoping their newly wealthy friend will choose to lend money to family and friends, handing it out to anyone who asks. The newly wealthy tend to pull away from these “friends” as well and feel even more isolated as a result.

In many cases, their own behavior is part of the problem, as well. Their new wealth gives them the freedom to enjoy travel and other luxuries that some friends can’t. If they decide to take off for a week in the Bahamas, most people they know won’t be able to drop everything and tag along – even if their wealthy friend is picking up the tab.

Sometimes, the newly rich try to fill the hole in their lives by forming new friendships with people who share their lifestyle. But even with other wealthy people, it can be difficult to tell if these friendships are genuine or opportunistic.

How to Deal With Sudden Wealth

The above makes it sound like striking it rich could be the worst thing to happen to someone, rather than the best. But it doesn’t have to be. When you are aware of the signs and symptoms of sudden wealth syndrome, you can take steps to protect yourself. You can also learn how to handle your new wealth so it adds to your life, rather than detracts from it.
Protect Your Wealth

The first thing you need to know when you come into a large sum of money is how to protect that money so you don’t lose it all. Here’s what experts recommend:

Keep It Quiet. Financial planner Robert Pagliarini, writing for Forbes, says that when it comes to sudden wealth, “the fewer people who know the better.” By keeping your good fortune a secret, you can avoid the pressure from swarms of people – friends, businesses, and charities – seeking a piece of it. You can also avoid being bombarded with financial advice, which, even if it’s well-intentioned, isn’t necessarily welcome.

Avoid Hasty Decisions. Don’t rush into any decisions about how you’ll spend or invest your new wealth. Avoid making any promises – financial or otherwise – until you know exactly how much you have and how much you can afford to spend.

Financial expert Susan Bradley, author of “Sudden Money: Managing a Financial Windfall,” recommends spending your first few weeks, or even months, as a wealthy person in a “decision-free zone.” This gives you time to process your feelings about your situation before you to decide to act.

Figure Out What You Have. Before you can start putting your money to use, you need to work out how much you really have. This isn’t always obvious at the outset. For instance, as this CNN article explains, a New York City resident who wins a $1.5 billion lottery jackpot and chooses to take the money as a lump sum will actually end up with only $577 million after taxes.

Similarly, if you’ve inherited money, you’ll need to read the exact terms of the will and find out what form the money comes in and what limits there are on how you can use it. So, before you spend a dime, go through all the legal papers tied to your cash windfall, fine print and all. Highlight any terms you don’t understand and look them up, taking care to use only reliable sources.

Set Goals. Once you know how much money you have, start figuring out what you want to do with it. Think about both short-term and long-term goals. You can break these down into four areas: lifestyle, family, future, and charitable donations. This exercise will help you figure out how to spend your windfall wisely.

Hire an Advisor. Once you know what your specific goals are, you can work out how much money you need to put towards each one. This is where a professional advisor can be a big help. A qualified financial advisor can help you figure out how much you can afford to spend each year so your money will last.

They can also steer you towards sensible investments to make the most of your money. To find a financial advisor, start by asking for referrals from friends, family, and professionals you trust, such as a family accountant. Then take the time to vet all the candidates, looking into their background, philosophy, references, and fees. Don’t rush this step; having a financial advisor you can trust is well worth the wait.

Keep Your Guard Up. A financial advisor can also help you in another way: by protecting you from requests for handouts. Refusing to lend money to friends and family can be awkward, but it’s easier when you can say, “I can’t make any loans without checking with my advisor.”

Your advisor can also handle other types of money-seekers, from charities looking for aid to people trying to squeeze money out of you via threats or frivolous lawsuits. You can tell all these people to send their requests to your advisor, which will help shield you from constant pressure.

Control Your Access to the Cash. There’s one more person you need to protect your wealth from: yourself. If you know you won’t be able to resist blowing through your money, then it’s best to stash it away where you can’t get at it easily. For instance, you could use some of the money to buy a house with cash, put some into college savings funds for your kids, and sequester some in retirement funds.

Get Used to Your New Wealth. Finally, take some time to adjust to your new position. Don’t start thinking of yourself as a rich person and spending willy-nilly, or you probably won’t stay rich for long.

Instead, get used to the new income level you’ve worked out with your financial advisor and do some experimenting to see how much it can buy. If you’re really itching to spend some of the money, experts suggest allowing yourself one clearly defined splurge, such as a vacation or a new car.

Enjoy that one luxury and get it out of your system, then settle down and live sensibly on your new income.

Protect Yourself Emotionally

Taking it slow with your newfound wealth can help you financially, as well as emotionally. It lets you process your feelings about your new situation, instead of trying to adjust to a new identity overnight.

The time you spend in the “decision-free zone” will ease you through the shock of suddenly being wealthy. It will allow you to get over your uncertainty and figure out how to invest your money in ways that fit in with your goals and values. This, in turn, will help relieve you of the anxiety about possibly losing your wealth and convince you that you really do deserve to have it.

However, many people need a little more help getting over the emotional stress of going from rags to riches overnight. Bradley says most people dealing with sudden wealth syndrome should consult a therapist. It’s much easier to get through this transition with the help of a professional than to do it all on your own. After all, you can certainly afford it.
Protect Your Relationships

Protecting your new wealth is paramount, but protecting your relationships with others is important too. Experts say one of the biggest mistakes newly wealthy people make is to retreat from the people who were once close to them. Often, they do this because they’ve become insecure and suspicious, fearing that everyone around them is only after their money. Whatever the reason, this behavior only leads to loneliness.

To avoid this problem, experts advise that you make the effort to stay close with your friends. Continue to take part in the same activities you’ve always enjoyed with them, whether that’s a weekly yoga class or a poker night. Holding on to established friendships will help you stay grounded, and having an active social life will cut down on your stress level.

It’s also important to avoid pushing friends away by accident. When you’re suddenly wealthy, it’s easy to get carried away with spending behaviors that your friends can’t easily keep up with. If you suggest replacing that casual poker game with a trip to Monte Carlo, you’ll probably end up leaving your friends behind. So, make a point of remembering their financial limits when you get together.

Finally, remember that while you don’t have to give money to everyone who asks for it, it’s a nice gesture to share the wealth in ways of your choosing.

For instance, flight-attendant-turned-entrepreneur Sandy Stein shares in a BBC interview about how she took one of her best friends from her airline days on a polar bear expedition. Gestures like this – treating your friends to a trip or a social outing – are a way to show your true friends that you still care about them.

Final Word

One of the biggest problems for people with sudden wealth syndrome is that they don’t get much sympathy from others. To a person who’s still struggling along on minimum wage, it’s hard to imagine that a neighbor who just won the lottery could actually be having a difficult time dealing with the change. Many newly rich people don’t dare talk to their friends and family about the problem, because they think it makes them seem obnoxious.

If you’ve just come into money, one of the most important things you can do for yourself is to acknowledge that it is stressful, and it’s okay to need help to process it. When you understand that gaining money is a real source of financial stress, it becomes easier to deal with it like you would any other kind of stress.

Talk with friends, get some exercise, and, if necessary, see a therapist – and don’t feel embarrassed about doing so. Being stressed out about a financial gain is no more shameful than being stressed out about a financial hardship.

Do you know anyone who’s suffered from stress due to sudden wealth?

Cheat Sheat from Fleming-Appointments, Terms, Rates, Definitions and more......Good for Newbies

Reposted for Our Newest Readers

This was originally posted on May 21, 2021….Procedures may have changed since then……consider everything a rumor until we are at the banks….

Cheat Sheet for Appointment with Supplemental Information, Fleming (Rev. 5.21.2021)

The information in this document is based on the most recent information available. It is not intended to be the authority on the GCR/RV or appointment process.

It is expected that there may be changes once final instructions are received.

This information is based on exchanges/ redemptions done in the USA. Each country will have its own process and information should be available for all once notifications have been issued.

The redemption/exchange process is streamlined and will be easy and straightforward. The appointment will only be about 15-20 minutes. You will be in and out quickly.

The current understanding (and subject to change) is there will be a “Safe Web Link” or 800# sent to those who purchased currency/bonds online with a registered dealer. This would include: Banks, Travelex, Great American Coin or with the aggregating sites (example: Dinar Recaps, Dinar Chronicles et al). Currently there are approximately 2 million email addresses.

Emails should be coming from Wells Fargo, HSBC, Chase, Bank of America and possibly Fifth Third.

If you do not receive an email, the information will be posted on aggregating sites and/or with those who provide RV Intel.

If you receive an email directly, you may forward it to anyone you gifted currency and/or bonds.

If you received as a gift, you may get the email forwarded to you.

Follow the instructions provided in the email.

You may be asked to verify who you are by answering questions based on publicly available information. This process is similar to when you apply online to open a bank account or a loan.

You may be required to electronically sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement). Read carefully so you understand what you are agreeing to. The NDA is to protect you. Print a copy for your records and for future reference. At the appointment, you will be signing a paper copy of the NDA.

You may be given an 800# or a unique 800# to schedule an appointment. The number may be to a specific location or you will be giving your Zip Code, to be directed to the closest location.

When you call you may be asked if you have Zim, Currency or both. This is because not all locations will be able to redeem Zim. NEVER say how much you have, and they cannot legally ask.

Remember that bonds (Zim) is redeemed, and Currency is exchanged.

You are free to redeem anywhere inside the United States. You are not required to exchange in your home state. It is recommended that if you live in a small town, that you go far enough from home, so you are not recognized. This is for your safety. There are no restrictions if you want to go to another state. You cannot go to another country to exchange. If you are a US citizen living abroad, check with place of exchange on what options you have available to you.

What to bring to appointment:

2 picture IDs – driver’s license, passport, government ID or anything with your picture

2 recent utility bill statements – this verifies your address

If homeless or no permanent address explain this at appointment.

Social Security card and/or Birth certificate. These may not be necessary, but bring especially if you have no picture ID.

If you have a bank account with a Tier 1 bank (HSBC, Chase, WF, Bank of America) bring your account number and routing number (a blank check will have that info.).

If you have a trust, bring the cover and indemnification pages (notarized pages). You may bring the entire trust, but they should only need copies of those pages.

Currencies/Bonds – Separate by country and denomination, large to small, facing in same direction. Place each currency into a small plastic bag.

If you have a lot of currency, recommend you create a tally sheet of how much of each currency/bond you have.

On day of appointment dress professionally. Do not dress to a point that you are uncomfortable.

Allow yourself plenty of time. Know where you are going and where to park if in a large city/urban area. Do not use Uber or Lyft type services. You might consider hiring a professional security company for transportation if safety is a concern.

Do not share with anyone purpose of your appointment or what you are doing.

Make a list of anything that you need in the first 10 days. Do you have any emergency needs like housing or medical, etc.

If you are redeeming Zim, make a 3-6-month budget. Budget does not include existing debt. Zim proceeds will be placed into a structured payout. Structured payouts take approximately 3 months to set up. By having a budget, you can have funds available for living expenses during that 90-day window.

It is expected that close of appointment that you will receive a debit card with 1-2% of Zim proceeds. Unless you have a large amount of currency you should have access to those funds the same day or within 24-36 hours. Large currency holders may have to put a portion of their funds into a structured payout.

Rates on currencies are based on Street rate, International and Contract rate. Not all currencies have a Contract rate. You can ask if there is one. You will want to know if there are conditions for receiving the contract rate and what they are. *See supplemental information for definitions.

The Redemption Centers will have a default package. This package includes rates, fees, services and benefits/perks. The default rate will be the International rate. If this is agreeable, you simply will follow through on signing all documents.

Leave with copies of all signed documents and any business cards.

Banks are reporting that there will not be time to create a skeleton trust at appointment. If possible, set up appointment for immediately after exchange to meet with a trust attorney or Trust Co. representative to have a trust created. Be prepared to have a unique trust name picked out. Also, who your beneficiaries will be and a successor trustee (person who will take over for you should you not be able to manage duties). Trust name should not be something associated with you directly.

When you get to the actual exchange process:

They will run your currency/bonds through the DE LaRue machine. This machine counts and verifies the authenticity of your currency.

If you do not like what is being offered, you can ask if any portion is negotiable.

You may be asked what you plan to do with funds. If you are redeeming Zim, the expectation is that you would do humanitarian projects, but is not required. At end of this document is a list of projects that you can choose from to support if you wish. (No longer 80/20 requirement on the Zim)

Historically, they have been looking for the following things in projects:
i. Projects are global in nature – start local and grow outward
ii. Job creation
iii. Duration – multigenerational
iv. Improves economy and helps businesses impacted by Covid

The best way to talk about your projects is to explain a problem and then how you want to fix it. Example: Homelessness – want to build safe affordable housing.

Your project should be typed up in a 1-3-page format with bullet points. This just makes it easy for them to read. Attached at end of this document is a cover sheet for your project. A copy of your project write up will be left at Redemption Center.

If you do not like the default package (rates, fees, services and perks) you may be able to request to talk to someone about what you plan to do and why you need something different than being offered. You may be given a Safe Keeping Receipt (SKR). This is where your currency/Bonds are recorded, and you are given the SKR. You will then work with a Trust company and/ or Wealth Manager to assist with negotiations and preparing the needed information.

Discuss what fees they are charging for exchange. It may be that the fees have been calculated in the rates. It is ok to ask if you can negotiate fees. In many cases, you may be further ahead to just pay the fees. This is something you can ask about. The same is true for services and perks.

If all is agreeable, sign and get copies.

 Remember that any agreements can be rescinded within 72 hours/3 days by law. You may ask if that time can be extended to allow you time to meet with professionals and to come back and renegotiate in your best interests.

You may want to open a new bank account for each currency and/or bond you are redeeming/ exchanging. These accounts will be under trust account name if you have one.

Each person will be (allegedly)  given a US Treasury Account and be in the QFS.

You can take your spouse to appointment or not. You do not want to take anyone who is not familiar with this process as they may end up slowing everything down with too many questions.

Below are some questions to ask and some may not be necessary under the new QFS:

a. Do the funds from each currency/bond need to be in separate accounts?
b. What about fund protection: Does FDIC still apply, or do I need a Lloyds or Cdars Insurance for amounts over $250,000? Is this something they can assist with?
c. I have been told that these transactions are non-taxable, if not, should that not be true, will you provide in writing that I will have access to the funds to pay taxes.

Ask for a full explanation of what the CAP’s and restrictions are and how they work. How are they scaled and what are the benchmarks for restrictions to be removed?

Read everything they give you including the NDA. If you do not understand, ask until you do. OR if you feel you need help, ask if there is an attorney available who can help.

Be respectful – they are not trying to trick you or deceive you.

Discuss Bank Perks – on the private banking side there are perks that you can request. Understand that you will be paying for them. They typically are tiered – so the more AUM (assets under management) you have, the more options you have.

Let them know you are aware that there will be a number of essential tasks to be addressed in the next 10-15 days. Tell them you will be needing help in setting appointments and managing those tasks. Ask if they can provide you with someone who can help.

Below is a list of possible tasks and list of professionals for short term and long term.

a. Establish primary irrevocable trust and any additional trusts or structures. Basic trust components may include:
i. Complex
ii. Non-grantor

Supplemental Information
Many are new to this and often terms are used incorrectly, switched, or interchanged. It is more important that you understand what terms mean when you get to your appointment.

DEFINITIONS

Tier 1 Bank: Tier 1 banks are those that hold the highest assets. They include: include: HSBC, Wells Fargo, Chase, Bank of America.

Full-Service Banks: Banks that offer a full range of services including a foreign exchange department. Credit Unions are not usually Full-Service.

Types of Rates:

Front screen/Street Rate: This is the rate you see when you look to purchase or sell currency. The buy rate is higher than the sell rate and the bank always includes a fee. The fee includes the bank portion and the UST portion.

International Rate/ Back Screen/ Default: This is the rate that is used for trading. It is higher than the front screen/street rate. Example: Street rate per million Dong: $1180. International rate: $470,000. To receive international/default rated does require that you sign an NDA. This protects you and the bank.

Contract Rate: This is a rate that is agreed to between countries. Any contract rate is a written agreement between two parties. When you hear “contract rates” associated with the RV, it is often being misused.

Unless you have a written agreement with another, you do not have a contract rate.

If you negotiate for something different than the default, then you will be signing a written agreement and that would be your contract rate.

In the context of the US, it has written agreements with other countries, specifically Iraq and Vietnam.

With Iraq, it is sometimes referred to as “contract for oil”. This is an agreement between governments. The US holds Iraqi Dinar and will receive that contract rate.

Not all currencies have contract rates.

Currently, if you hold Zim, contract rates will not be available. This is because you will receive more from the Zim than you will with a contracted currency rate.

NDA – Non-disclosure agreement

The NDA is a written agreement between two parties that specifies what cannot be disclosed or shared. Usually there is a time limit, 90 days +. As relates to the RV, you are agreeing to not discuss what rate you received for your currency and Zim. The RV transaction is a private transaction. The UST does not want you talking to the public about your private transaction.

If you choose not to sign an NDA, you will go with the public (Tier 5) and will receive Street Rate.

Who can participate? Generally speaking, you can participate in the RV if you are not and have not participated in gangs, legalized crime, murder, human trafficking etc. If you are unsure, make appointment and ask when you get there.

RV Tiers:
T1 = Governments
T2 = Military, those who put this together, groups
T3 = Humanitarian Organizations/Groups and SKR groups
T4 = Internet group – those who follow what is going on with the RV
T4A = Individuals with SKRs, now part of T3
T4B – Individuals, Internet Group
T5 = Public

SKR: Stands for Safe Keeping Receipt. This is where someone who is licensed and authorized to be a Paymaster (usually an attorney) represents a group of currency holders (were originally done prior to Zim being in the offering). They sign a contract and agree to a specified rate. There are not and have not been any new SKR groups for several years.

Prosperity Packages: These cover a very wide area. Includes funds from large trusts such as St. Germain, Rodriguez, Heritage and Mitterrand Trusts will be used to assist the Common Man and help with some debt relief.

Adjudicated Packages: These are lawsuits where plaintiffs won the legal cases. The largest are: CMKX, Native American Claims, Farm Claims, and others. You will know if you are already a part of these.

CMKX: A diamond mine that oversold stock with the help of the SEC. They were sued by key stockholders and won – often referred to as an Adjudicated Package.

Farm Claims: Lawsuit that involved farmers who were unfairly taken advantage of by bankers. They sued and won.

Currency Basket: Originally there were a few baskets with different countries’ currencies revaluing approximately six months apart. There are 22 currencies that are scheduled to go initially.

Once all currency are asset backed, that currency will be exchanged at 1:1 and it will not matter if it is a Mexican Peso or a Dinar. The RV is about creating a level playing field. Not all currency rates will rise in value and some will fall.

List of currencies:
• US
• UK
• Kuwait
• Canada
• Mexico
• Russia
• China
• Venezuela
• Iranian Rial
• IRAQ
• Indonesia Rupiah
• Malaysia

• Vietnamese

So You Are Suddenly Wealthy- Now What???

Reposted for our newest members

KTFA: Servin29:  So You Are Suddenly Wealthy. Now What?

Whether you just received a sizeable inheritance or you just won the lottery, sudden wealth changes people's lives.

1. Call Your Close Family Together. Remember that, no matter what, your family and close friends come first. Call your close family members together, talk about your newfound wealth, and discuss how to proceed with the next step of surviving this major change in your lives. Just like a ship will break apart if it is being pulled in multiple directions, it is important for you and your close family to concur on your family's life goals.

2. Immediately Call an Experienced Attorney and Accountant. Like it or not, your life just got more complicated as a result of having more money. You now have to contend with new tax laws, the risk of losing everything as a result of possible lawsuits, divorce, bad investments, death, incapacity, and any number of other possibilities.

Find an attorney and accountant who has "been there before" with clients, and listen to their advice. Have both the attorney and accountant concur on their recommendations and work together. The legal and financial aspects affect every move you will make.

3. Do Not Accept the Lottery Ticket or Inheritance without Your Lawyer's Advice.

With a lottery ticket, you have options of accepting a cash payout or payments over your lifetime. There is no "correct" answer on which payout method you should choose. You should discuss your options with your attorney and accountant.

With a large inheritance, transfer taxes can be a major issue. There are many ways to structure settlements for tax advantages. You may want to disclaim part of it and give it to your children to avoid a double transfer tax. You may want to a advantageously split your personal settlement among multiple family members or have an irrevocable trust be the winner. Before you accept and agree to the big divorce settlement, ask your divorce attorney to bring in an estate attorney to help structure what you receive so as to reckon with the tax consequences.

4. Put Together a Team of Professional Advisors. In addition to an attorney and accountant, you will need a full team of other professional advisors, including a life insurance specialist, a property and casualty insurance specialist, an investment advisor, a financial planner, and even a family psychologist or psychiatrist. It is important to interview these professionals and make sure they are top-quality. Reputable advisors will save you money and help you avoid costly mistakes.

There are scoundrels out there who prey on unsuspecting, newly wealthy individuals. These people will present you with umpteen different ways for you to "invest" your money. Keep your advisory team handy for consultations as to proposals you are given. This will reduce the number of bad decisions resulting from these confrontations.

If you are suddenly wealthy, you may be either afraid of advisors or do not trust them. We suggest the following to overcome this "advisor phobia":

When you are meeting with an advisor, bring along someone you already trust, such as a religious leader, old friend, or elder member of the family. That person can give you a
Require your attorney and accountant to evaluate any business before you go into it, and to evaluate any advisor's reputation before you make a commitment to proceed with that person.

Consider using fee-based investment and insurance advisors to lessen the feeling of product sale pressure.

Arrange with others who have had sudden wealth experiences to share feelings with them. The professionals involved may be able to introduce you to other suddenly wealthy persons whom they have already helped.

Have the advisors set up educational programs for you and your family members.

Talk with the psychologist or psychiatrist on the team to find out why the family members are resisting the advisors.

The advisors on the team should be working in harmony as they interact with you. If they disagree amongst themselves, they must work it out away from you and come back to you only when they all agree.

5. Work with a Psychiatrist or Psychologist. The sudden wealth will change your life, your values, your environment, and your friends. It will be normal for you to have stress and uncertainties in your mind. Regular consultations with these professionals will help you through your new, fast-changing lifestyles. The future for you is not what it used to be.

It may be a good idea to choose a psychologist or psychiatrist to be present at all the team meetings to observe and determine if there are any psychologist problems. The psychologist may then suggest either individual consultation with the most distressed family members or some type of group therapy. That psychologist can act as a trained mediator to facilitate the settlement of any differences among family members.

One psychological problem or bitter confrontation could destroy all the fun out of the winnings unless the negative energy is dissipated through psychological consultation or mediation.

6. Set up a Strategic Financial and Legal Plan. After you set your life goals, you will want to set up the financial and legal structures and moves as a foundation for reaching those goals. You may need to set up trusts and other legal entities, not only to protect yourself from lawsuits, taxes, probate courts and family squabbles, but also to ensure continuing financial success and safety. Your attorney, accountant, and other advisors will be your architects and engineers to build a family financial fortress for you.

In setting up the strategic financial and legal plan, you usually will need right away the standard legal medical emergency documents -- wills, living wills, medical powers of attorney, durable general powers of attorney, revocable trusts, and instructions for funeral and burial.

Another need will be to set up irrevocable trusts for the children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren, thereby creating receptacles for tax-free gifts and life insurance, ;which will be used to pay the estate taxes on the winnings should you die.

In almost every situation with which we have been confronted, we have found that setting up a family limited partnership is helpful for holding all of the money and investments safe from creditors and facilitating discounted tax-free gifting to the next generation.

Sometimes, for the more sophisticated family, we will set up a family LLC or corporation to manage the investments; to house any business activities in which the clients want to get involved; and to enjoy fringe benefits, such as a payment of medical bills and the opportunity to deduct the expenses of having family business meetings.

In the accounting area, it is important to have a budget and a means of tracking cash flow, income, and net worth from year to year to evaluate whether the family is "keeping on course" with respect to their visions and objectives upon which they previously agreed.

7. Implement the Necessary Protective Insurance. A client who won a large multi-million dollar sweepstakes prize realized that, if she died, taxes would eat up almost 80% of what she won before her family received any benefits. We immediately arranged to offset that with several million dollars of tax-free life insurance so that the family would not lose a dime to taxes. Umbrella liability insurance in the highest amounts almost is needed to protect the winnings from unfortunate accident lawsuits.

After the insurance has been implemented as needed during the first year, the insurance advisors must continue to evaluate the financial numbers each year to see if any adjustments need to be made.

8. Set Up Trusts and a Foundation with Trustees to Screen You from Shirt-tail Relatives and Charities. If you start giving money to relatives and charities, it will be like feeding the sharks with bloody morsels of meat. Relatives will be angry that you gave more to another relative. Charities will press you for their share of your give-aways.

We recommend setting up a trust for the relatives and a private foundation for the charities with loyal trustees who will act as buffers between the family and the solicitors. You, however, set clear written policies of your giving intentions that are consistent with your objectives and your values for the trustees to implement. Trusts must be set up as discretionary spendthrift trusts to protect the newly-gained assets from predator creditors and lawsuits.

It is important for the family to evaluate the "Statement of Wishes" that they have given to the trustees of their family trusts and their charitable foundations. The Statement of Wishes provides instructions to the trustees as to how they should go about giving distributions to the family members and to charities. Because times change rapidly, the Statements of Wishes must be reviewed on an annual basis.

9. Hone Your Survival Skills. You want advisors who will teach you how to manage your wealth. At some point, you will want to be weaned off your advisors for all but periodic legal and financial checkups and emergency advice.

10. Safety First. We have noticed that highly publicized lottery winners or others who suddenly come into wealth are harassed by crank, threatening, and annoying calls. Scam artists pressure the suddenly wealthy to "invest" money with them. Family members come out of the woodwork pleading for financial support. Others have their own ideas about how you should use your money for their good.

To protect your family and maintain some privacy, we suggest that you consider some of the following precautions:

Get an unlisted telephone number.

Move to a security-protected living area.

After you implement these security measures, you can gradually invite loyal friends and relatives who will respect and preserve your privacy back into your life.

Also, the more gradually you change your spending habits, the less attention you will attract to yourself.

These are just some of the key moves that must be made so that you will become part of the 15% to 25% of people who are happy with their sudden wealth.

“Remember” Originally posted by 30MDinar at TNT......

Remember... to CHANGE your telephone number and EMAIL address IMMEDIATELY post RV! Think about every call you have dialed in to and how your telephone number has been captured and added to a list. Well, what happens to that list? Do you want YOUR telephone number out there on a "dinar holder" "millionaire" etc. list?

Remember - your goal should be to own NOTHING personally and be judgement proof. Think assett PROTECTION. Get with someone who is a licensed professional in good standing who knows what they are doing. Look in to trusts, foundations etc.

IMPORTANT: when you exchange - make sure you do NOT agree to give the bank power of attorney over YOUR money.

Remember... an opportunity of this magnitude may NEVER happen again. The very last thing you want to do is blow this one! Be smart and triple check everything.

Dont be quick to act. Be slow and calculating. Assemble a professional team of people who know what they are doing, are licensed, in good standing to advise you what is in YOUR best interest.

Remember... when you purchase a home, dont forget about the property taxes and insurance! Be sure to calculate how much you are going to need and set it aside for how ever many years you expect to live in that home. Many have lost their homes because they didn't stop to plan properly and ended up not being able to afford the household related expenses.

Remember... one of the most powerful words in any laungage is NO. Keep this in mind when people approach you for money! Always keep in mind that it is critical for your long term wealth protection that you hold on to your money! Of course I am NOT saying you should not tithe and be charitable. Just be smart and very careful with your money so it will last!

Remember... after you get in to your new home... take an inventory of the contents - furnishings, electronic equipment, clothes etc. Anything that you would want replaced in the event of a fire or some other disaster. A great way to do it is with a VIDEO camera. Place that video in a safe desposit box. An itemized list is also highly reccommended. Be sure to keep this list up to date to include new purchases.

Remember... make sure you properly insure your new home for both REPLACEMENT value as well as contents. Always check your coverage amounts.

Remember... people with NO money always want to join forces with someone who has money. The problem is... they usually are only interested in taking your money and rarely can they offer any value.

Remember... if you plan to hire a housekeeper, gardener, nanny or anyone to do anything in or at your home... ALWAYS check references and make sure they are bonded, insured etc. You've got to think like those who would love to cheat you out of your money and stay many steps ahead of them.

Remember... to contact each of your monthly utilities providers and ask them to add a password to your account. This means they will not give out any of your personal information without getting the correct password that is on the account. This is CRITICAL. This is a very simple and basic way crooks get access to your home address.

Remember... be very AWARE of strangers and / or inviting ANYONE whom you don't really know to your home. Its easy for people to make claims - especially when their goal is to file a claim against your home owners insurance policy or against you etc.

There are PROFESSIONAL CROOKS that prey on people with money because they see you as a payday. Think about the PROFESSIONAL FALLERS who slip and fall in the grocery store and then file a lawsuit against the chain.

Private Banking Vs. Wealth Management: Not quite the same.

Private banking and wealth management are terms that overlap. However, the financial services offered through private banking and through wealth management differ slightly.

Wealth management is a broader category that involves dealing with the optimization of a client's portfolio, taking into account his aversion to, or comfort with, risk and investing assets according to his plans and financial goals.

Private banking typically refers to an envelope solution for high-net-worth-individuals(HNWIs) wherein a public or private financial institution employs staff members to offer high-net-worth clients personalized care and management of their finances.

The primary difference between private banking and wealth management is that private banking does not always deal with investing clients' assets. Private bank staff may offer clients guidance on certain investment options, but not all banks will be involved in the actual process of investing assets for their clients.

Most clients utilizing private banking services open deposit accounts of one kind or another.

Wealth management employees, including financial advisors, provide advice to clients to help them improve their financial standing and assist clients in investing assets with the goal of generating high returns. In general, private banking can extend to encompass wealth management, but wealth management firms cannot provide clients with private banking facility services.

PRIVATE BANKING

In general terms, private banking involves financial institutions that provide financial management services to HNWIs. In some instances, an individual may be able to obtain these services with assets less than $100,000, but most banks that provide private banking do not accept clients who have assets less than $500,000.

Private banking tends to be exclusive and is reserved for clients with substantial amounts of cash and other assets to be deposited into accounts and to be invested.

Private banking provides investment-related advice and aims to address the entire financial circumstances of each client. Private banking services typically aid clients in protecting and growing their assets.

Employees designated to aid each client work to provide individualized financing solutions. These employees also help clients plan and save for their retirement and structure plans for passing accumulated wealth on to family members or other indicated beneficiaries
.
There are consumer banks of every size with private banking divisions. These divisions offer considerable perks to HNWIs to obtain them as clients. Private banking clients with large accounts generally receive enviable rates and concierge-like service, guaranteeing them instant access to the employees working with their accounts.

Private banking clients never have to wait in line or use a teller for services. Anything the client needs can be done with a phone call. A private banking client can contact the lead advisor working with his account and complete just about any transaction, from cashing a check or ordering more checks to moving large sums of money from one account to another.

These perks are all part of the banking institution’s plan to benefit financially. Banks pursue wealthy clients because their business generates significant sums of money in profit for the bank, guarantees repeat business and brings in new business.

Private banking clients, specifically the ultra-wealthy, discuss the specialized and elite treatment they receive with other wealthy individuals. These are new potential clients. Often, these new potential clients are mentioned to private banking divisions by current clients. The divisions then send out invitations to potential clients and often acquire their accounts through such invitations.

Private banking divisions also find new clients through the course of completing normal lending activities. The banks can access tax returns and additional personal documents and discover other potential clients through this information. Invitations are also extended to these individuals and often private banking divisions acquire clientele by doing so.

Banks draw a line when it comes to individuals who are pursued and contacted to become potential clients, and this line rests in different places for different institutions. The mass-affluent market is the major target, meaning individuals with investable assets in excess of $250,000. Some banks set a much higher bar, targeting only those individuals who have minimum amounts of investable assets in the millions.

Clients utilizing private banking services pay for the specialized treatment they receive. The bank that wealthy clients use has a guarantee of a large pool of money, in the form of the clients' substantial checking account balances, to lend and utilize.

The bank also makes money from the steeper interest charges on larger mortgage and business loans taken out by rich clients. The real money maker for these banks is the percentage earned on assets under management (AUM), which is generally quite large with HNWIs. Charging even a very small percentage fee for services that involve huge sum

Wealth Management

Private wealth management generally involves advice and execution of investments on behalf of clients. Firms that specialize in these practices are the primary sources for clients looking to invest in a variety of funds and stocks.

Wealth management advisors also help with financial planning, manage client portfolios and perform a variety of other financial services in relation to a client’s private financing choices.

Utilizing a financial advisor for private wealth management allows the client to work with an individual educated in solving financial problems and enhancing the client’s overall financial status. These wealth management advisors also help clients achieve financial goals.

Generally, financial advisors seek to assist affluent clients with private wealth management.

The advisors seek to provide the clients with ranges of financial products and services and achieve clients' ultimate financial goals.

Private wealth management services are provided by larger corporations, such as Goldman Sachs, but they may also be provided by independent financial advisors or portfolio managers multi-licensed to offer multiple services and who focus on high-net-worth clients.

A wealth management advisor sits down one-on-one with each client and discusses goals, comfort levels with risk, and any other stipulations or restrictions the client may have in regard to the investment of his assets.

The wealth management advisor then composes an investment strategy that incorporates all information gained from the client and that allows the client to achieve his goals.

The advisor continues to manage the client’s money and utilizes investment products that coincide with the client's stipulations.

Wealth management advisors cannot always offer clients the same specialized and concierge-like services that private banking offers.

However, in most cases, these financial advisors spend a great deal of time with clients. These advisors also cannot open banking accounts for clients, but they can assist them in determining the right kind of accounts to open at the bank of the client's choosing.

New York Time Kuwait Revalues it’s Currency

NY TIMES(Kuwait RV): Published: March 25, 1991

It still has no water and little electricity or food, but Kuwait revived its banking system today, introducing a new currency......Banks reopened for the first time since Iraqi occupation forces shut them down in December.

Thousands of people lined up to exchange their old Kuwaiti dinars for crisp new ones and to withdraw a limited amount of money.....The Central Bank is canceling the value of Kuwaiti dinars that were seized from the Central Bank and put into circulation by the Iraqis.

The invalid serial numbers were posted today in front of all banks in the city....All other old dinars can be exchanged for new ones on a one-to-one rate until May 7, when the old dinars become invalid.

The new official exchange rate is 3.47 American dollars for one new Kuwaiti dinar.

From March 18, 1975 to January 4, 2003 the dinar was pegged to a weighted currency basket. From January 5, 2003 until May 20, 2007, the pegging was switched to 1 U.S. dollar = 0.29963 dinar with margins of ±3.5%.[2] The central rate translates to approximately 1 dinar = 3.33745 dollars. From June 16, 2007, the Kuwaiti dinar was re-pegged to a basket of currencies,[3] and is now worth about US$3.609 (€2.686). It is the world's highest-valued currency unit

What is Nesara????   Many sites are talking about it……here is some information

NESARA ...Forgives all credit card, mortgage, student loan and other bank debt due to illegal banking and government activities..

Information about NESARA:

Source: http://www.ashtarontheroad.com/nesara-flyer-2-8-16.html

A law was passed in the United States in March 2000 and signed into law in October of 2000. This law is called N.E.S.A.R.A. – National Economic Security and Reformation Act.  All politicians and media members are under a gag order to not speak of it publicly until it is officially announced. This new law will first be enacted in the United States and eventually will be rolled out across the world. The law provides:

     ·  Forgives all credit card, mortgage, student loan and other bank debt due to illegal banking and government activities

     ·  Dissolves the IRS and ends all income tax

     ·  Creates flat rate non-essential “new items only” sales tax (food, medicine and all used items will not be taxed)

     ·  Increases benefits to senior citizens

     ·  Returns Constitutional Law to all our courts and legal matters – re-trains all judges and attorneys in Constitutional Law

     ·  Provides for new representational elections within Constitutional Law.

     ·  Monitors elections and prevents illegal activities of billionaires and special interest groups

     ·  Ends the Federal Reserve System and begins a new US Treasury bank system  that follows Constitutional Law

     ·  Creates new US Treasury currency backed by gold, silver and precious metals,ending US Government bankruptcy. This will initiate global economic reform.

     ·  Restores financial privacy

     ·  Ceases all aggressive US Government military action worldwide

     ·  Leads to peace throughout the world

     ·  Enables release of over 6,000 patents of suppressed technologies and enormous sums of money for humanitarian purposes

The provisions of the National Economic Security and Reformation Act have been composed by visionaries who wish to correct past wrongs against the people in the United States. It is supported and inspired by statesmen around the world, as well as off-world, as a vision for global peace, freedom and prosperity.

EVOLUTION OF THE DINARIAN

Don't Let This Happen To You~ Lotto Winner Loses it All

Reposted for our newest readers:

Note: All Dinarians should read this.....So it will NOT happen to you!

\InvestorChick: Lotto Winner Loses It All

I had the pleasure of meeting a very charming senior in the last few weeks. It's my friends mother and this lady is in her 70's.

She won 5 million dollars in the year 2000. I saw a copy of the cheque on the fridge at her son's house. I did a double take because I've never seen a cheque that large.

Of course me being a Dinarian and riding this crazy ride along with all of the others, I have been fortunate enough over the past 5 years to have been educated by people like Tony etc and I have done my research about this kind of thing.

All of us have been told the statistics and I do realize that all of this waiting has been hard, although the real challenge comes after our blessing arrives.  

My friend told me the story of how his mother had won the lottery and how she had come to "lose it all".  

I was fascinated because although we hear about it, I had never met someone in this unique situation.  This is her story in a nutshell.  

She won 5 million dollars and was not financially educated in any formal way.  She made her decisions quickly and without professional help.  Her son told me she wanted to "show them all" who she was and rub it in their face, whoever "they" are.  

She gave $500,000 to her sister and then $600,000 to each son.  She was down 1.7 million to start and it gets dramatically worse from there.

 Her sons accepted the gift and my friend was in a not great marriage and of course since he had just received $600,000 from his mother that was not his own lotto winning or an inheritance, his wife when she divorced him was entitled to half.  

The other son burned through his quickly as he also had no formal education or did not seek professional help.

 My friend however did the wise thing and invested his remaining $300,000, he still has it 15 years later and it's making him money daily.  

I repeat, it's invested professionally and it makes him a return daily!  

This lady bought a brand new house, hired an interior designer and of course the new performance car, fully loaded.  She spent 30-40 THOUSAND per month at the casino because they were "so nice to her", no kidding!  

She brought her sister for company and of course her sister didn't spend any of her $500,000. She had an addiction to scratch tickets and lotto tickets even though she had already won.

She handed out $50 tips at the grocery store to the cashiers etc.  She had the life she always wanted and she sure made a big splash doing it.  

It didn't take long for the money to run out and her to be in a worse situation then when she won the money.  

I sat and listened in sheer amazement!  I gave her a ride home that night because the battery on her car was going and she didn't have the money for a new one, imagine!  

Her son was taking it to be fixed the next day for her and footing the bill.

 I drove her home and she went on and on about her house etc.  I drove up and although it's a beautiful place it was overgrown and unkept, no money for maintenance, the neighbours must be thrilled.  

She invited me in and was proud to show me all of her treasures.  My heart truly went out to her as there she was and now it's all gone and the house will be going soon too.  

I looked at her and gently asked if she had to do it all over, what would she do different?  She looked down and thought about it, looked up at me and said she would have got some help.  

Everyone was my friend, she said, until the money ran out.  I wished her good night and got in my car and thanked God for that experience in person and up close.

 It's real, it happens and it will happen to some of you. 

I told her son about this investment and he has some currency, I know she will be looked after but it sure makes you think.

How many shots at wealth does a person generally get in their lifetime?

 I'm thinking not too many.  

The sad thing about it, is how much she gambled away looking for money and "the win" again.  

Folks, when this blessing arrives, your ship came in and this for most of us will be the one shot you get at wealth.  Don't waste it!  

There are several lessons to be learned from this story.

Be wise, move with caution and be deliberate with your actions.  I truly hope by sharing this story, it can help at least one person, my eyes have sure been opened!

Private Banking Vs. Wealth Management: Not Quite The Same

Reposted for our newest readers:

Private Banking Vs. Wealth Management: Not quite the same.

Private banking and wealth management are terms that overlap. However, the financial services offered through private banking and through wealth management differ slightly.

Wealth management is a broader category that involves dealing with the optimization of a client's portfolio, taking into account his aversion to, or comfort with, risk and investing assets according to his plans and financial goals.

Private banking typically refers to an envelope solution for high-net-worth-individuals(HNWIs) wherein a public or private financial institution employs staff members to offer high-net-worth clients personalized care and management of their finances.

The primary difference between private banking and wealth management is that private banking does not always deal with investing clients' assets. Private bank staff may offer clients guidance on certain investment options, but not all banks will be involved in the actual process of investing assets for their clients.

Most clients utilizing private banking services open deposit accounts of one kind or another.

Wealth management employees, including financial advisors, provide advice to clients to help them improve their financial standing and assist clients in investing assets with the goal of generating high returns. In general, private banking can extend to encompass wealth management, but wealth management firms cannot provide clients with private banking facility services.

PRIVATE BANKING

In general terms, private banking involves financial institutions that provide financial management services to HNWIs. In some instances, an individual may be able to obtain these services with assets less than $100,000, but most banks that provide private banking do not accept clients who have assets less than $500,000.

Private banking tends to be exclusive and is reserved for clients with substantial amounts of cash and other assets to be deposited into accounts and to be invested.

Private banking provides investment-related advice and aims to address the entire financial circumstances of each client. Private banking services typically aid clients in protecting and growing their assets.

Employees designated to aid each client work to provide individualized financing solutions. These employees also help clients plan and save for their retirement and structure plans for passing accumulated wealth on to family members or other indicated beneficiaries
.
There are consumer banks of every size with private banking divisions. These divisions offer considerable perks to HNWIs to obtain them as clients.

Private banking clients with large accounts generally receive enviable rates and concierge-like service, guaranteeing them instant access to the employees working with their accounts.

Private banking clients never have to wait in line or use a teller for services. Anything the client needs can be done with a phone call.

A private banking client can contact the lead advisor working with his account and complete just about any transaction, from cashing a check or ordering more checks to moving large sums of money from one account to another.

These perks are all part of the banking institution’s plan to benefit financially. Banks pursue wealthy clients because their business generates significant sums of money in profit for the bank, guarantees repeat business and brings in new business.

Private banking clients, specifically the ultra-wealthy, discuss the specialized and elite treatment they receive with other wealthy individuals. These are new potential clients. Often, these new potential clients are mentioned to private banking divisions by current clients. The divisions then send out invitations to potential clients and often acquire their accounts through such invitations.

Private banking divisions also find new clients through the course of completing normal lending activities. The banks can access tax returns and additional personal documents and discover other potential clients through this information. Invitations are also extended to these individuals and often private banking divisions acquire clientele by doing so.

Banks draw a line when it comes to individuals who are pursued and contacted to become potential clients, and this line rests in different places for different institutions. The mass-affluent market is the major target, meaning individuals with investable assets in excess of $250,000. Some banks set a much higher bar, targeting only those individuals who have minimum amounts of investable assets in the millions.

Clients utilizing private banking services pay for the specialized treatment they receive. The bank that wealthy clients use has a guarantee of a large pool of money, in the form of the clients' substantial checking account balances, to lend and utilize.

The bank also makes money from the steeper interest charges on larger mortgage and business loans taken out by rich clients. The real money maker for these banks is the percentage earned on assets under management (AUM), which is generally quite large with HNWIs. Charging even a very small percentage fee for services that involve huge sums.

Wealth Management

Private wealth management generally involves advice and execution of investments on behalf of clients. Firms that specialize in these practices are the primary sources for clients looking to invest in a variety of funds and stocks.

Wealth management advisors also help with financial planning, manage client portfolios and perform a variety of other financial services in relation to a client’s private financing choices.

Utilizing a financial advisor for private wealth management allows the client to work with an individual educated in solving financial problems and enhancing the client’s overall financial status. These wealth management advisors also help clients achieve financial goals.

Generally, financial advisors seek to assist affluent clients with private wealth management.

The advisors seek to provide the clients with ranges of financial products and services and achieve clients' ultimate financial goals.

Private wealth management services are provided by larger corporations, such as Goldman Sachs, but they may also be provided by independent financial advisors or portfolio managers multi-licensed to offer multiple services and who focus on high-net-worth clients.

A wealth management advisor sits down one-on-one with each client and discusses goals, comfort levels with risk, and any other stipulations or restrictions the client may have in regard to the investment of his assets.

The wealth management advisor then composes an investment strategy that incorporates all information gained from the client and that allows the client to achieve his goals.

The advisor continues to manage the client’s money and utilizes investment products that coincide with the client's stipulations.

Wealth management advisors cannot always offer clients the same specialized and concierge-like services that private banking offers.

However, in most cases, these financial advisors spend a great deal of time with clients. These advisors also cannot open banking accounts for clients, but they can assist them in determining the right kind of accounts to open at the bank of the client's choosing.
