Emma Hunt on 1st September 2021

Welcome to the 2021 Q3 edition of Wealth & Finance International Magazine. As always, we endeavour to provide fund managers, institutional and private investors with the very latest industry news in the traditional and alternative investment spheres.

Having eagerly awaited the summer months and the hope of at least some levels of freedom after long periods of government restrictions, it seems almost mad that already we now face September and with it, the end of summer. Yet as we return to the grindstone, there remains a sense of enthusiasm, as businesses across the globe get stuck into developing the ideas and innovations born from the resilience and adaptability called for by global lockdowns.

In this quarter’s issue of W&F, we look at a selection of companies that have not only thrived during the pandemic, but have created solutions with lasting and positive impacts on the investment and financial services sectors. From delt.ai’s credit card and financial management product that has opened doors for small businesses across Mexico to Capital Connect’s automated payment solutions that have become the most valued asset to South African businesses, we are celebrating the best and brightest pioneers of the industry.

Thus, we hope you enjoy exploring the success stories of businesses across the world as they take the lead in this exciting industry. We wish you all the best for the months ahead and look forward to welcoming you back for the Q4 issue of Wealth & Finance International Magazine.

Emma Hunt on 8th June 2021

Welcome to the 2021 Q2 edition of Wealth & Finance International Magazine. As always, we endeavour to provide fund managers, institutional and private investors with the very latest industry news in the traditional and alternative investment spheres.

After a year that has been shaped by a global pandemic, the predominantly successful roll out of vaccine programmes across the world has meant that the much-anticipated arrival of ‘life after lockdown’ seems finally to be on the horizon. Consequently, businesses of all size across all industries have been gearing up for the reopening of global markets that will mark the beginning of a new economic era.

This preparation for the reopening of the world is a consistent theme of the companies featured in this edition of Wealth & Finance International. From high street retailers regaining traction after months of online stores dominating the commercial landscapes, to the at times challenging but client-centric decisions made by our cover feature company, Fairbanks Insurance Brokers, the Q2 edition of Wealth and Finance is rife with stories of resilience and innovation demonstrated by companies throughout the global financial service and wealth management sector over the last year.

We wish you all the best for the months ahead and hope that you stay safe and well until we meet again in the next edition of Wealth and Finance International Magazine.

Q1 2021

Patrick Doherty on 26th February 2021

Welcome to the Q1 edition of Wealth & Finance International Magazine. As always, we endeavour to provide fund managers, institutional and private investors with the very latest industry news in the traditional and alternative investment spheres.

The last year has magnified the importance of capitalising on opportunities whenever they arise. While the predominant theme of the last year has been change, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic proved to be tumultuous and ever-shifting. Though significant challenges have been prevalent, it would be remiss to gloss over the unexpected opportunities that have arisen for many businesses in numerous markets.

The core benefit of the wealth and finance industries is that, for the most part, the move to the digital ‘storefront’ and operations as already been underway before circumstance made it a necessity. From digital banking for client convenience to online investment management – services could continue on, even when physical establishments had to close their doors. That left an opportunity to focus attention, to strengthen digital infrastructure and services to best serve the needs of clients. If anything positive occurred from COVID, it was this. We’ll be focusing on the companies who have pivoted or enhanced their digital offerings over this year. So stay tuned!

In the meantime, I hope you all stay safe and well. Have a wonderful few weeks ahead.

Q2 2020

Emma Hunt on 26th June 2020

Welcome to the Q2 edition of Wealth & Finance International Magazine. As always, every issue we endeavour to provide fund managers, institutional and private investors with the very latest industry news in the traditional and alternative investment spheres.

Though the economic impact of COVID-19 cannot be overestimated, there are signs of optimism to be found on the financial landscape. After the rather swift baptism of fire we all experienced in March – as we rushed to strengthen digital infrastructure – we’ve settled a bit into this new socially distanced world we find ourselves in. Shocks to the stock market have levelled out somewhat, and indeed strengthened, across a plethora of industries. Of course, we’re not out of the woods yet, but we can once again see dappling sunlight in the canopy (if you can excuse the rather tortured metaphor).

The finance industry is more robust than most, with early adoption to digital services and an ability to be agile and dynamic when required. That holds true for all of the companies we have featured in this issue. From best in class artificial intelligence technologies to leading fund management firms, we’ve spotlighted just a few of the companies who are seeing success despite significant challenges.

In the meantime, I hope you all stay safe and well.

Q1 2020

Patrick Doherty on 3rd March 2020

Welcome to the Q1 edition of Wealth & Finance International Magazine. As always, every issue we endeavour to provide fund managers, institutional and private investors with the very latest industry news in the traditional and alternative investment spheres.

It’s been an odd couple of weeks. Following a terrible (to put it lightly) few days for global stock markets, the last 24 hours has seen a dramatic rallying turnaround. While we’re probably not at all out of hot water when it comes to the economic impact of COVID-19, recovery in any form is certainly a pleasant sight. But, as always, we step gingerly onward, wary of further disruption. Ultimately, uncertainty and risk are just a natural part of the wealth and finance landscape.

Saying that, this quarter’s edition features companies who combat uncertainty through next-level preparedness, employing technology in new ways to cover all basis. From the development of true AI, to funds that beat all expectations, this issue focuses on excellence that thrives despite greater difficulty.

Here at Wealth & Finance we sincerely hope that you enjoy reading this issue and, as always, we look forward to hearing from you.

Patrick Doherty on 27th November 2019

Welcome to the Q4 edition of Wealth & Finance International Magazine. As always, every issue we endeavour to provide fund managers, institutional and private investors with the very latest industry news in the traditional and alternative investment spheres.

It wasn’t too long ago that the world seemed on the edge of an ‘imminent’ recession, escalated on the back of trade wars, Brexit uncertainty and unrest. While all of these are very much still a part of the daily news cycle, markets have remained resilient. Indeed, as of writing, we’ve just had one of the largest ‘Merger Mondays’ for some time. A good sign, even if the idea of a recession hasn’t exactly receded from view. The world ticks on. Deals are still secured. Business carries on regardless.

Within this issue we’ve spotlighted just a few of the last quarter’s deals, recruitment news, and the latest research from State Street Global Advisors.

Meanwhile, Aspen Consulting Team are our cover story for this edition of the magazine. In their own words, Thomas and Edgell Pules explain their exceptional work helping successful families flourish by addressing major financial and emotional concerns. Read inside to find out more.

Welcome to the Q3 edition of Wealth & Finance International Magazine for 2019. Every issue we endeavour to provide fund managers, institutional and private investors with the very latest industry news in the traditional and alternative investment landscapes. Putting aside, at least for the time being, the tumultuous stock markets and dire warnings from financial experts on the topic of an ‘imminent’ global recession, we are focusing – as ever- on more optimistic shores.

Take, for instance, Inbound FinTech, a multi-award-winning growth agency that specialises in the financial sector. In the years since its establishment it has proven a crucial tool for the sector’s shining stars as they look to capitalise on a wealth of opportunities. Group CEO Sheila Mitham took a moment out of her busy schedule to tell us more.

In a very different vein, we profiled MPA Financial Management to see how they have thrived in their role as Independent Financial Advisers. The key to the firm’s success has always been their ability to serve their client’s best interests, helping them to achieve a secure financial future.

Patrick Doherty on 31st January 2019

Welcome to the first issue of Wealth & Finance International Magazine for 2019. As always, we are dedicated to providing fund managers, institutional and private investors with the very latest industry news in the traditional and alternative investment landscapes. Though the New Year typically heralds in a new start and fresh beginnings, the wealth and finance industries look towards strengthening their position for the challenges that lie ahead. Continuing economic uncertainty partnered with Brexit’s looming presence are, in all likelihood, going to bring renewed volatility to the world’s stock markets.

This month we take a look and investment and wealth managers who have, simply, done things differently than their peers and competitors.

Welcome to the tenth issue of Wealth & Finance International Magazine, which is dedicated to providing fund managers, institutional and private investors with the very latest industry news in the traditional and alternative investment landscapes.

This month’s issue looks towards the future, as we explore the ways that technology will shape the investment and finance landscapes. In many ways, the investment industry has undergone a schism, dividing the market in two: on one side, the traditionalists, who advocate for human-driven expertise and management. On the other, the futurists, who believe that the future of finance lies in AI, algorithms and machine learning.

On the side of the traditionalists, Compass Invest trust in their experienced asset managers to forge investment strategies that fulfil their client’s long-term wealth management goals. They believe that the human element that drives their success acts to differentiate themselves from a sector that has become reliant on technology. We spoke to the firm’s Chief Investment Officer, Dragomir Velikov, and Executive Director, Ivaylo Angarski, to find out more.

On the other side of the spectrum, A&C Legal are a pioneering law firm working tirelessly to set a new standard for legal practices around the world to follow. Adriana Posada, A&C Legal’s Founder, Partner and Director, takes some time out of her busy schedule to talk to Wealth & Finance about her work towards the empowerment of women, corporate responsibility and the incorporation of green practices.
