For the younger generation, private banking is no longer necessarily as attractive a business sector as it was for their predecessors. Nonetheless, these institutions’ recruitment needs remain high, and attracting young talent is becoming an increasingly important issue for them. So how can private banks attract and retain the next generation?

The world as we have known it for the past few decades now looks to have been fundamentally turned on its axis, as indeed have traditional portfolio-management models.
