The continuous pace and relative brutality of the technological, economic and geo-political changes that the world has witnessed since the early 1990s has somehow negated the very promise of globalization; of a more efficient, transparent and fair world. Of-course these often chaotic transformations have also redefined and shaped the way that wealth is created, protected, reported and ultimately, shared.

Placed against this global backdrop, the impact of the 2008 financial crisis not only shook the stability and reputation of banks, but also opened the floodgates to larger debates as to the shape, transparency and predictability of the entire financial landscape.

Today, perhaps more than ever before, successful people share the realization that despite their often hard-earned wealth, they are only the temporal custodians of a legacy that is intended to last. Hence, they all face one daunting challenge: how to secure the future well-being of their loved ones, their business and their community.

Guided by our clients’ diverse personal histories and their collective experience, we are conscious that no matter how much change affects the world we once knew, integrity, trust and the intellectual flexibility to embrace evolution are crucial prerequisites for long-term success.

The very raison d’être of AKTS and Partners, established in April 2014, is to be an advisory firm that meets the expectations of our Clients: to deliver best in class personalized financial services, whilst adhering to the highest standards of professionalism, ethics and confidentiality in the wealth management industry.
