InsingerGilissen has everything in place to realise ambitions
“Dit is een huis, en zo voelt het ook,” concludeert Marian Dessing. “Zowel voor ons als voor onze cliënten.” De directeur van InsingerGilissen Den Haag spreekt over de markante witte villa aan de Alexanderstraat waar de eeuwenoude vermogensbeheerder gevestigd is.
Bhe InsingerGilissen so no fleeting video calls with a new face every time. "Our people often assist many generations. As a result, they are closely intertwined with the family as confidants - they even know the names of pets. Clients are therefore always welcome here; some meet their accountant here or park their car with us when they go into town," Dessing outlines. "And of course, if they wish, we drive to them for a conversation at home at the kitchen table."
Wealthy
Those who are wealthy are privileged, but also face complex personal issues. "Some want to reduce risk and take wealth out of their business to spend more time with their family, others want to pass on their estate or art well to the next generation, and still others see their wealth as an instrument to leave something to society," Dessing lists. "So wealth means something different to everyone, and it is about more than just wealth."
'Power means something different to everyone'
The private bankers never pass judgement on all those dreams and ambitions. "On the contrary, it is nice to see how different they are from person to person," the empathetic director believes. "With our expertise in investment advice, wealth planning and foundation formation, among others, we only reach out to the possibilities to realise those goals. We also maintain good relationships with tax specialists, accountants and notaries for support in other areas."
To deepen these relationships and those with clients, InsingerGilissen regularly organises barbecues, networking drinks and gatherings for young people. About the latter, she says: "Many cannot talk to their friends about what it is like to have wealthy parents; they sometimes even see it as a burden. Here we talk about it in a safe setting with questions like: do you already have assets yourself, how do you get them and how do you deal with them? That works enlightening and liberating."
Different view
As with so many other things, the old and young guard have different views on power. "Very interesting," Dessing argues. "For children, sustainability is often leading. They no longer want to invest in fossil products, while parents are more inclined to opt for returns in order to give something good back to the city or an organisation, for example. Because we are trusted, we can steer such a process in the right direction."
'Our profession is about people, families, dreams and ambitions'
As diverse as the clientele is, Dessing's team is also diverse. "Men, women, all ages. We have very experienced private bankers in-house and, thanks to our internal training programme, young professionals can also develop with us," she proudly explains. They have one thing in common: they don't work here to move up, but to practice the profession they love. "And what could be better than being able to do that with so much attention and in this environment?"
