The semiconductor shortage severely impacts the automotive industry, reducing comfort options for new car orders. Manufacturers hesitate to disclose specific component shortages, as the market change remains unpredictable and could shift rapidly.

This scenario mirrors challenges in private banking, where sudden market changes may prompt banks to reduce the number of client markets they serve. Such abrupt decisions often force relationship managers to resign and wealthy clients to close their accounts. Consequently, relationship managers risk encountering similar issues when moving to another bank. However, transitioning to a client-domicile-focused independent wealth management firm provides a more secure alternative during market change.

In these firms, relationship managers can retain their positions if a chosen custodian bank stops servicing a specific client domicile. They simply guide their wealthy clients to a new bank that supports the relevant client domicile, thereby minimising disruption.

In conclusion, while some conveniences, like a hands-free boot release or a powerful hi-fi system, may be unavailable, these are minor sacrifices in the broader context of adapting to current market changes and client needs.
