Training Course for Advisers

Providing Philanthropy and Social Investment Advice

A COMPREHENSIVE SKILLS-BASED TRAINING COURSE

“Humans are neither binary or rational; informed only by risk and return and at all times logical. Passions play a huge part in how we behave. Wealth and investment is also changing – we are entering a new paradigm where it is seen as a powerful tool to affect sustained and positive social change. Advisors need to embrace this and evolve to stay with the market and their clients”

Changing Times

(U)HNWs’ private clients’ needs are changing. Research shows that they want more comprehensive and personalised support from their professional advisors (wealth management, tax, legal, independant financial advisers, family trusts, family offices, professional philanthropy advisers) to address their values-based economic and social goals.  
 
Driven by millennials and women with wealth, the growing demand for philanthropy and social impact investment advice and support provides increased opportunities for professional advisory firms - learn with us to be ahead of this curve.
 
The Research - this is client driven
 
Philanthropy Impact’s evidence-based research (supported by Scorpio Partnership, CAF and other research) demonstrates:
 
  • Women will inherit more than 70% of the money passed down
  • Millennials are becoming the recipients of intergenerational transfer of wealth
  • Philanthropy and social impact investment goals are a key driver for many (U)HNW clients’ when managing their personal wealth
  • Philanthropy services given by advisers across all sectors are rated as poor: (average) 5.9 out of 10
  • Clients want more/better philanthropy advice, with guidance from their advisers - they want to learn all the ways they can do good with their wealth
  • The shifting values of next gen and women of wealth is creating the need for a new kind of wealth management: greater engagement and better understand of values based wealth strategies

According to Scorpio Partnership Research one third of people interviewed said that they would like their adviser to better support their charitable activity.

The Charities Aid Foundation polled 1000 wealthy individual donors – 66% of those surveyed felt professional advisers could and should give them philanthropy advice.
