Time for tea - join us at the FT studios

By PWM

PWM's coverage through three decades has focused on a global wealth management industry in transition from selling products to giving advice to wealthy families on business and investment issues.

Today, this advice is fuelled by four megatrends which are central to our content: Geopolitics, digitisation, climate change and demographics. In between writing about these trends and how they are transforming the ecosystem, our correspondents like to take a Tea Break, away from the desk to discuss these big ideas. Often there are knowledgeable industry guests joining us for a cuppa.

Our latest idea is a simple one - inviting the FT cameras in to film our Tea Break and sharing the footage with our viewers and readers, so you can all see how we arrive at, and analyse, our key topics of interest. This is a process we would like the whole PWM family to be involved in. So please send your questions in to our hosts - Ali Al-Enazi and Yuri Bender - plus our special studio guests.

Each week we will discuss the most important stories and trends in the world of wealth management and we need you to be part of that debate. Before you know it, it will again be time for tea.
