The Master in Wealth Management – Asset Management, is aimed at young graduates who aspire to become financial consultants and operate within banks, insurance companies, consultancy firms, real estate brokerage agencies or in the practice of liberal professions.
Combining the academic knowledge of the Faculty with the presence of professionals in the sector, the Master provides market analysis tools to train heritage management experts who know how to propose a consultancy adapted to the needs of each client, with the aim of maximizing returns and at the same time reduce its risks.
The supply of services with high added value is closely linked to empathy and communication skills, to which the Master in Wealth Management deals with the teaching module on Customer Understanding, dedicated to building relationships of trust with the customer, and with the support of a prestigious network of companies and managers with whom to get in touch.
