Leading Wealth Advisors Offer Expert Advice to High Net Worth Americans

NEW YORK, July 6 /PRNewswire/ — Sandow Media announced a total re-invention of the 18-year-old financial title Worth. The debut issue provides a vetted venue for top advisors nationwide to answer questions on the minds of high net worth investors. Answers can be found in the Spring 2009 issue as well as online at www.worth.com. This issue’s questions included:

“With the economic crisis barely loosening its grip, what should we be doing now?”

“What did you advise your clients to do as the credit crunch unfolded? At what point – if ever – did you recommend that they modify their portfolios?

“What is one of the biggest missed opportunities that you see within the market?”

“What unique gift and estate planning opportunities are available as a result of historically low interest rates and depressed asset valuations?”

“Why is a GRAT the perfect game plan for this economy?”

“Most high net worth Americans are rethinking their investment strategies; this heightened interest makes it an excellent time to address questions most on the minds of high net worth Americans who are, quite understandably, concerned about their financial health and whether or not they have the right expertise to shepherd that wealth in volatile times,” said Publisher Patrick Williams.
