Private wealth management should be more than a premium label.
Use this framework to compare service depth, conflicts, and after-tax execution.
Three models
- Private bank: strong lending and access, often tied to bank products.
- Wirehouse team: broad platform, but pricing and product incentives can be opaque.
- Fee-only RIA: transparent compensation, usually strongest for planning-led households.
Decision point: choose the model that solves your actual complexity. Lending access is different from tax-aware wealth planning.
