The Ultra High Net Worth Institute
The Ultra High Net Worth Institute
Back in 2018 The Family Wealth Report bought together a panel of advisers to ultra high net worth families and discussed how effective business models were at serving the complex needs of these families.
Their conclusion was that, whilst there were great firms serving the space, there was no stand out model that fully served these families. In addition, when speaking to families who had attended the conference it became really clear that there was a lot of confusion amongst these families with them not understanding the value proposition of the business models.
And so the journey to creating The Ultra High Net Worth Institute began.
What is the Ultra High Net Worth Institute?
The UNHW Institute was founded in response to the overarching confusion, lack of transparency and unbiased education available in the marketplace. Their Mission is to:
- Offer an intellectual understanding and organisation of the Family Wealth field.
- Educate UHNW families and family offices as they navigate the wealth management industry.
- Provide insights and resources to advisors and wealth management firms as they strive to better serve UHNW and family office clients.
- Promote best practices, professional development and sustainable, positive change in the wealth management industry.
Additionally, they will remain an independent, objective organisation that represents the entire industry and at all costs – avoids conflicts of interest and even the appearance of “pay to play”.
