Manage and protect your wealth with the help of a private
bank

Help! I'm Rich! is a detailed examination of how private
banking services can help high net worth individuals take charge
over their wealth and protect their assets. Designed to increase
the ability to discern between 'adding value' and
'self-orientation' and thus improve the professional relationship
between private bankers and clients, this reader-friendly guide
explains the concerns that typically come along with wealth, and
the various ways in which private banks can help clients deal with
these challenges effectively. You will learn what private banks do,
which services they offer, and how to find and approach a private
bank. Case studies illustrate the various scenarios presented, and
graphs, tables, cartoons and diagrams help facilitate a true
understanding of what private banks can do for you. A detailed
description of the various asset classes explains the reasons for
-- and risks of -- investing at each level, giving you a
better idea of the wealth management methods that have proven
effective for others in your class.

Whether you are new to wealth or are newly tasked with the money
management aspect of it, it's vital for you to understand the ways
in which your high net worth changes the game. This book is an
indispensable guide to understanding the common challenges of the
wealthy, and the crucial role private banks play in dealing with
these challenges.

* Understand the challenges wealth brings to money
management

* Discover how private banks can help address specific
concerns

* Learn the questions you should ask your private banker

* Make better financial decisions by having an expert in your
corner

The more money you have, the more attention it requires, and the
solutions tend to get more complicated. The support of a
professional services provider seems not only unavoidable but
highly desirable. Help! I'm Rich! shows you how to gain the
most out of your private banking experience, with detailed guidance
and expert advice.
