High-net-worth individuals face a number of threats to their security. Their significant wealth makes them prime targets for scams and hackers and sometimes puts them in physical jeopardy.
Protection is therefore essential. The best security advisers can pre-empt these issues on behalf of their clients, ensuring that they are equipped to address them before they surface. They carry out discreet assessments before they travel and on the places they will visit. As well as the security threats HNWs can face, maintaining a strong intelligence and investigations capability is an important part of identifying and addressing more direct challenges, both as a private individual and as a businessperson. Your advisers, in all likelihood, are scrupulous and conscientious, but when wrongdoing arises you need to have the facts.
This year, among others, we have added the holistic secure lifestyle offering of Kate Bright, founder and leader of Umbra, Raedas’s non-nonsense crisis and legal dispute response in the form of Andrew Wordsworth and Riyadh-based financial investigations specialist from Kroll Sultana El-Sayed.
The best advisers can help a client to develop a full intelligence and investigations strategy to help tackle these issues before they evolve into larger problems.
