Hargreaves turned briefly to Fletcher, who opened the tablet and brought up a clean summary screen without being asked.
"At the level we're discussing," Hargreaves said, "the relationship goes beyond what a standard private banking arrangement provides. You'd have access to our alternative investment division, which handles assets and vehicles that aren't available through conventional channels. Private equity mandates, co-investment structures alongside sovereign and institutional partners, real assets globally."
He paused to let that settle before continuing.
"On the advisory side, you'd have a dedicated team. Not a single relationship manager but a team consisting of legal, tax, investment, and operational professionals. These are people that would operate as a coordinated unit around your specific situation. The kind of structure that when a decision needs to be made across multiple domains simultaneously, the people who need to be in the room are already in the room."
