Thank you Frazer Rice for hosting me on Wealth Actually. The intersection of financial assets, legacy goals, and tax efficiency is one of the most dynamic places in wealth management today. You did a great job surfacing many of the important questions we’re trying to answer with Luminary. If you’re an advisor working with complex clients, I’d invite you to have a listen and share your view on what the future of wealth management might look like.
"Wealth Actually" Podcast with David Barnard: The intersection of TECHNOLOGY and ESTATE PLANNING is now a dominant talking point in the wealth management space. The pressure for advisors to deliver more client value is intense. I spoke with David to understand the state of the art in creating, presenting and managing personalized trust & estate strategies for complex clients with Luminary’s digital collaboration platform. Technology and Estate Planning Issues: -The challenges in visualizing complicated concepts, -Storytelling and the importance of communication in a world of numbers and graphs -Helping the advisor have equal footing with other professionals -The importance of collaboration (and not competition) with the legal and accounting world in providing coordinated advice -Staying on the safe side of unauthorized legal or accounting advice and broader staffing issues -The future of administrating wealth. DAVID is the CEO and Founder of Luminary- the winner of two awards at the 2024 Family Wealth Awards . He previously led private wealth management for AllianceBernstein, overseeing more than $100 billion in client assets, and has served multiple philanthropic organizations as a director or trustee.
