Financial Awareness Webinar Replay

 

In this webinar, UAM Financial Planner Elliot Krauze introduces the three key pillars of financial planning in the yachting industry: banking, tax and savings. He also takes you through the 5 most common ‘financial personalities’ that exist.

Designed to help you connect with your saving personality and understand how this impacts your finance decisions, this webinar is the first step to ensuring you are set up to maximise your finances during your years at sea. The webinar was developed for Superyacht crew who are at the start of their financial journey and want to know more about bank accounts, tax and investments.
