Charles Russell's breakfast seminars are designed to
increase the knowledge of trustees, and those advising
them. Trustee law is probably changing more quickly
now than at any time during the last generation. It
is vital to stay abreast of those changes.
The seminars will take place at our New Fetter Lane
office. Please click here to
register to attend one or more of the series.

Focus on India: The International Indian Client
There are 6.2 millions NRIs- people who were born in
India and now live abroad- with $500bn (€ 314.4
bn) of liquid assets. Studies have shown that Indians
have a strong connection with their homeland and will
often invest 15%-25% of their wealth there. Asia-Pacific
and European wealth managers profile Indians as being
sophisticated clients who want a say in how their portfolio
is run. (Datamonitor, March 2008).
