The document is a certificate from a banking and insurance course taught by Prof. Dr. Hans Brunner in November 2011. It provides an overview of the wealth management industry, including the roles of relationship managers and different types of client mandates. It discusses how wealth management has evolved from a focus on banking secrecy and tax optimization in the 1990s to the present environment where clients are more informed, loyal to performance over institutions, and impacted by increased competition, regulation, and technology. The future of wealth management may involve new markets, increased client retention efforts, more tools like CRM, and potential industry consolidation.
