Families, philanthropy and festive gatherings: PWM Tea Break

Dina de Angelo from Pictet Wealth Management shares her secrets of successful communication with multiple family generations over tea and festive mince pies with PWM

Discussing the ‘magic moments’ of dialogue, when families uncover the mysteries of asset allocation and selection together with their advisers, she has a strong belief that the relationship with clients must go much deeper, embracing philanthropy and impact investing. 

But not every bank is specialised in these key areas of expertise, as Ms de Angelo tells PWM’s Yuri Bender. While most bankers are generalists, working for high-pressure cost centres, their firms are increasingly realising that a more impactful conversation with clients will lead to greater understanding, more intensive interaction and a longer-term relationship based on trust and mutual respect.
