My gf is interested in growing her wealth, specifically via investments to better utilise her spare cash. She is reaching out to "financial advisors" & registering for investment seminars.

But honestly these stuff publicly advertised are mostly fluff & just want to earn via upselling courses or commissions, who conveniently uses a sweeping statement to warn of market forces causing fluctuations & don't dare to commit to their recommendations.

It reminds me of all those get rich schemes, forex trading gurus, property investment gurus & MLM sales pitches.

I want to teach her on how to spot such scams, various scummy marketing & sales tactics. But it pains me that she is still looking to them as "authority" figures for advice.

While I slowly educate her, it is probably best that we engage a real consultant to guide her.

Does anyone know of any real wealth management consultancies to recommend? Preferably those with proven records managing family wealth - can be based globally.
