Ep 392: Crafting Your Specialization When There Is No Standard Playbook To Learn It with Kristopher Heck


Listen Later

Kristopher Heck is a Founding Partner of Tanager Wealth Management, an RIA based out of London that oversees approximately $1.1 billion in assets under management for 630 households. Kristopher's firm stands out by scaling to over a billion dollars in AUM, specializing in serving clients with financial and personal ties to both the United States and the United Kingdom, a niche lacking a standard playbook. This unique focus on complex transatlantic tax, estate, and planning issues has allowed them to develop a highly differentiated expertise in the marketplace over the past decade.

Listen in as Kristopher shares his journey of founding Tanager Wealth, drawing on his personal experiences as a US expatriate to specialize in cross-border US-UK financial planning. He explains how his firm fosters a learning environment through internal blogs, videos, and lunch-and-learns, as well as how establishing early partnerships with other expatriate-focused professionals has cultivated a robust referral network. We also discuss the structure of separate advisory and planning teams that enhance career development and knowledge sharing within the firm, highlighting the importance of combining the right people and technology to effectively scale and succeed in the financial advisory landscape.
