We had this extraordinary moment around 2021 where government COVID relief money turbocharged the crypto economy and then we have this present moment where the physical world has taken precedence, most clearly in the armed conflicts underway.
In the shadow of this, we had SBF and FTX rocket to extraordinary heights on the promise of crypto and then collapse for the oldest reasons of all, simple fraud. Ultimately, the basics of planning are still as important as ever. An expert panel debates the risks and certainties of crypto in today’s world.

There is a knowledge gulf in the private client sector around philanthropy and impact, which is preventing advisors from engaging their clients on these topics despite a clear and growing demand for these services. As a result, clients are missing out on products, services and advice that would allow them to meet their ambitions of having a positive impact with their wealth. We will share practical examples on how some innovative organisations are integrating non- financial outcomes into their products and services and how these can be leveraged to create impact and meet clients’ deeper goals.
