Independent wealth managers may appear as competitors in our field, but our unique role and natural strengths lie in teamwork and rapid information-sharing. When a custodian bank makes a tough call, word spreads swiftly. We engage in dialogue, share insights, and provide mutual support—all for the benefit of our clients. And remember, bad news travels fast.

In times of uncertainty, the power of our trusted network becomes even more evident. A sudden decision from a custodian bank can send ripples across the industry, impacting every firm and client. Our connectedness allows us to share insights, discuss impacts, and explore alternatives. This unity and speed keep us ahead, ensuring clients’ best interests are always at the forefront. Mutual support is not just a nice-to-have—it’s ingrained in our DNA and a key driver of our success.

Unstoppable Power of Independent Wealth Managers

If some custodian banks think we’re operating in silos or solely as rivals, they’re overlooking a key factor. Our industry thrives on collaboration, transparency, and trust. And when custodian banks make moves that don’t align with our needs and those of our clients, our network becomes even more essential. Clients and assets can and will slowly shift to custodians who share these values and prioritise client needs. This level of solidarity is not just powerful; it’s inspiring and speaks volumes in today’s market. 👏

Let’s not forget the crucial role of Relationship Managers at independent firms in our network. They often lead the way in learning about industry developments and can provide proactive, trusted advice. This insight strengthens client relationships, deepens our trust, and ensures our clients feel valued and protected.

A big thanks to every colleague who makes this network possible. Your efforts and dedication are what make us strong when we unite. You are appreciated and recognised for your invaluable contributions.
