Unlike an investment firm trying to sell you its own products or a financial advisor pitching their platform, a wealth concierge works solely for you. They act as your translator, strategist, and behind-the-scenes operator—helping you assemble and oversee a financial team that fits your needs, not theirs. This is where Amy Parvaneh, founder of Select Advisors Institute, comes in.

If you’re navigating the complexities of wealth—especially as your net worth grows—the stakes of choosing the right financial advisor couldn’t be higher. But amid the polished titles and glossy brochures, there’s one term that should guide your search more than any other: fiduciary. A fiduciary financial advisor is legally required to act in your best interest. That sounds obvious, but surprisingly, many advisors are not fiduciaries. Instead, they follow a suitability standard, meaning they can recommend products that are merely "suitable"—even if better options exist. In contrast, fiduciaries must put you first, every time.

For ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families—typically with $30M to $100M+ of investable assets—financial complexity becomes its own full-time job. Even with a world-class advisory team, you may find yourself juggling roles you never intended to take on: decision-maker, coordinator, follow-up person, calendar tracker, operations lead, and family CEO.
