Description
About the Event
Wealth management is a multi-faceted, dynamic subject that needs to respond to constant changes in the legal environment. Two prominent issues that need to be kept continuously in view are the most efficient structuring for asset ownership and tax planning to legitimately manage tax exposure. This seminar brings together these two facets of wealth management practice. The first presentation, by Professor Dr Francesco A Schurr, focusses on digital and intangible assets, the challenges posed by their non-traditional nature, and how trusts and private foundations offer a solution to some of those challenges. The second presentation, by Professor Dr Martin Wenz, looks at fundamental changes in the International Tax Architecture, in particular the move to introduce a global minimum taxation on certain entities, as well as initiatives to establish a fairer and more sustainable international tax system, and the implications of these developments for the wealth management sector.
