Key Investing Strategies for Ultra High Net Worth Individuals
To deliver the returns expected by the ultra-affluent, Ultra High Net Worth investment strategies must be distinct from those of the average investor, or even the High Net Worth investor. The strategies employed by Weber Global management emphasize protecting the sizeable wealth already accrued while diversifying portfolios to continue building wealth.
Diversification
While the typical investor diversifies through a smaller range of assets such as bonds, equities, and mutual funds, the UHNW investor should invest across a wider range of asset classes, including less common assets, such as art, precious metals, businesses, commodities, and real estate to maximize profit.
Profit Reinvestment
Investment profits may serve as additional income for the standard investor, but once an individual reaches UHNW status, these profits should be reinvested into new income streams, such as stocks or businesses, to fully leverage compounding interest.
Expert Advice
The most successful investors know that, while they may have some investing know-how, there is an increased level of both nuance and risk in UHNW investing with so much wealth at stake that necessitates specialized outside guidance. A wealth management and investment advisory firm such as Weber Global management can help clients with an uncommon level of wealth accurately predict market swings to both protect gains and secure wins.
Global Reach
Diversification on multiple fronts is important, which means spreading your portfolio out globally as well as among asset classes. UHNW investors are more likely to be world travelers, which is often the spark that ignites a more global portfolio reach. Through international investment opportunities, like Swiss investment banking, UHNW individuals have greater access to true diversification through their wealth management team.
