US-China tensions and banking collapses have placed the world of wealth management under strain. Portfolio managers are seeking respite in alternative allocation strategies. However, whilst private markets are progressively accessible, adoption of digital assets poses regulatory roadblocks.

On the business side, seeking a competitive advantage over industry disruptors is paramount at a time of fee erosion and climbing compliance costs. Pressure is mounting for strategy-focused executives to develop data capabilities for hyper-personalised client engagement, whilst traditional private banks are positioning themselves for partnerships with fintechs. In the face of heightened headline risk, how can wealth executives improve consumer confidence and minimise client attrition?

Now in its sixth year, the Global Wealth Management Summit is FT Live and PWM’s flagship gathering of private banks, family offices, and wealth managers, discussing the most effective investment strategies and shifting business models for a wealth industry in flux. With a new two-day format for 2023, this year’s panel discussions, debates, and interactive masterclasses will address governance issues for leaders across the executive board and the implications of a volatile macroeconomic backdrop for investors.
