Publisher's Synopsis
As the world emerges from one of the most serious economic crises since the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the importance to people of having of a trusted, knowledgeable and professional financial adviser is greater than ever. The fact is, wherever you go in the world today it is clear that the financial security and well- being of communities, wherever they are on the globe, will depend on individual financial security. In Europe, where national social security systems have previously provided for the sick and the retired, the system is acknowledged to be broken. Further afield in Asia and the Far East where, in the past, families have tended to look after one another, the social model is changing and people no longer want or expect to be financially dependant in old age on their own children.
