Wealth management involves providing services to help individuals and families grow, safeguard, and distribute their wealth according to their wishes. It includes estate and tax planning, investment management, and coordinating with other advisors. Wealth management is segmented by client assets, ranging from retail to ultra-high net worth individuals. Careers in wealth management include financial advisors, private bankers, and portfolio managers. Financial planning differs from wealth management in its focus on achieving financial goals, while wealth management also includes asset management. Skills needed for success in wealth management include sales, client management, portfolio management, and risk management abilities.
