High-net-worth individuals often already have a financial advisor, but many aren't receiving the in-depth investment education or portfolio customization they truly need. That's where Monish Verma comes in. He joins the show today to share his strategy for converting HNW prospects into clients, as well as how a tailored approach to alternative investments and client education can become a powerful differentiator for winning (and keeping) affluent clients.
Monish is the CEO of Vardhan Wealth Management, a DBA of Summit Financial, based in Farmington Hills, Michigan, that oversees $560 million in AUM for 225 households. Listen in as he shares how his willingness to spend more time upfront educating prospects and clients has led to higher trust, retention, and referrals. You'll also hear how his team carefully vets alternative investments and helps clients understand where they fit in their portfolios, why he encourages mutual "interviews" with prospects to ensure good long-term fit, and how breaking away from the wirehouse world gave him the autonomy to grow his business on his own terms, while still benefiting from shared services by working with an RIA platform.
