Spear’s is pleased to confirm that Ben Goldsmith, sustainability investor, society figure and Spear’s first guest editor, will be speaking at the third Spear’s Wealth Insight Forum. Ben will be speaking about radical twenty-first century investing opportunities.

Update (8 August): Also confirmed are Dominic Ponsford of Press Gazette on how much privacy HNWs need and entrepreneur David Murray-Hundley on the tech sector.

Returning for its third year, Spear’s Wealth Insight Forum will tackle key questions wealth managers, lawyers and other private client professionals have about their clients. Spear’s is perfectly placed to explain the HNW mindset and lifestyle with characteristic insight, analysis and wit.

Date: 26 September 2013
Venue: Clothworkers’ Hall

Despite the already massive changes of the 21st century — from the rise of a new class of the super-rich to the destruction of established investment practices — many wealth managers are stuck with an old paradigm. Spear’s is perfectly placed to explain the new HNW mindset and lifestyle with characteristic insight, analysis and wit.

Previous speakers have included family lawyer Sandra Davis, Mishcon de Reya; entrepreneur Julie Meyer, Ariadne Capital; art dealer Philip Mould; philanthropist Richard Ross, Rosetrees Foundation; the Reverend Dr Giles Fraser, priest and presenter of Thought for the Day; John Kelly, Schillings; John Christensen, Tax Justice Network; William Cash, Spear’s; Britt Lintner, designer and entrepreneur; Martin Vander Weyer, Spectator Business.
