Trading Glossary

Definition

Wealth management is a comprehensive financial advisory service that combines investment management, financial planning, tax strategy, and estate planning to help high-net-worth individuals grow and preserve their wealth. It takes a holistic approach to a client's entire financial situation rather than focusing on a single product or service. Wealth managers work closely with clients to develop personalised strategies aligned with their long-term goals.

Example

A successful prop trader who has accumulated significant capital over time might engage a wealth management firm to diversify their holdings beyond active trading, ensuring their wealth is protected through a mix of investments, tax-efficient structures, and estate planning. Understanding wealth management principles also helps traders think beyond short-term profits and consider how to build, protect, and eventually transfer wealth over the long term — a mindset that supports more sustainable and disciplined trading.
