Private bankers woo the new rich
Article Abstract:
The concept of private banking in Australia has been largely misunderstood, but the industry is maturing, as the number of wealthy Australians increase. In January 1999, Australia had 206,000 millionaires, up from 169,000 in January 1998. Private banking services have progressed beyond preferential treatment to a wide variety of services and products including investment strategies and risk management. Most private bankers transact business with those who have at least $1 million to invest, though more than $5 million is often preferred.
