Advisor, Education, Finance, Financial, , , , , , , , ,

When your clients undergo a major liquidity event, they often expect a lot more from you than simply “investing” their newfound wealth.

That’s why it’s crucial to build a bench strength that serves your clients at all levels!

In this episode, Duncan joins Scott Hamilton, a master coach to financial advisors and part of the Pareto Coaches Network. They talk about how advisors can attract and serve high-net-worth clients through a multi-family office (MFO) experience.

Scott discusses:

  • How to minimize the risk of losing clients after major liquidity events
  • How to build a Value-Added Support Team (VAST) that fulfills your clients’ evolving needs
  • Ways to prepare clients for the “suddenly affluent” phase well ahead of time
  • The self-actualization benefits of building an MFO
  • And more
