The wealth management industry has undergone massive change over the past 25 years.

In two or three hours of reading made easier thanks to the bold, often amusing illustrations, you will be a far smarter investor, not by learning the jargon but by applying common sense and insisting on clearer communications from your advisor. You and your advisor can create an even stronger and long lasting partnership by reading this book together. Wealth Management Unwrapped is like a powerful GPS, whether you’re a novice or sophisticated investor, offering you a much clearer view of how to fully realize the dreams and goals your wealth now affords you.
