Spear's Review

Heading up the wealth planning team at Rooks Rider, Karen Methold quips that she tends to act for people 'from cricket-playing countries: Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia'.

'65 per cent of our client base has an international angle so we also frequently deal with clients who have assets in jurisdictions such as Liechtenstein, the BVI and Switzerland,' she tells Spear's. 

Having worked at Rooks Rider for the entirety of her career (which began in 1986), she has strived to establish a partner-led service whereby clients deal directly with high-level partners, an important aspect for HNWs expecting quality advice, particularly during periods of economic and political turbulence.
