Course description
Delivered in collaboration between ZISHI and the University of Bath School of Management.
Wealth management is a fascinating sector of the global financial ecosystem where the past, present, and future converge to shape the financial destinies of individuals and families. This highly unique course is your fast-track to mastering the intricacies of this dynamic industry.
Your studies will begin with exploring the historical roots of wealth management, from ancient Egyptian temples to the merchant families of Italy and the subsequent expansion into the Western world. Despite facing financial bubbles and market upheavals, wealth management has endured, rejuvenated, and transformed into a multitrillion dollar industry. We will dissect this evolution decade by decade, tracing the growth and challenges in different regions and types of firms.
As we delve deeper into the course, you’ll gain practical insights into how the global financial crises of 2008-09 shook the very foundations of wealth management, and more recently, how the financial industry has grappled with the global pandemic, demonstrating the resilience and adaptability of this field.
We will also explore highly practical components of the programme where we look at topics such as building a successful wealth management franchise, financial planning-led wealth management offerings, client growth strategies, regulatory and tax regimes, and the quest for an exceptional client experience. Each chapter of the course is designed to equip you with comprehensive knowledge and the practical skills necessary to thrive in the world of modern wealth management.
