Episode Details

Should UK financial planners be looking at the international advice market? Andreas Hollas has spent 13 years in Dubai building expertise that has no textbook, and the career it's given him is unlike anything available in the UK.

In this episode of Financial Planner Life, Sam sits down with Andreas Hollas, chartered financial planner and technical advice director at Titan Wealth International, to explore what international financial planning actually looks like, the clients, the cases, the complexity, and the career opportunity most UK advisers don't even know exists.

Andreas came straight out of university into financial services, built the largest client book at HHR, and now supports 80 advisers across Titan Wealth International with the most complex cross-border cases in the business. His clients span from the Dominican Republic to the Republic of Korea. His cases have no rulebook. His answers come entirely from experience.

The result? A career at the front edge of a growing market that is desperately short of advisers genuinely equipped to serve it.

If you're a UK financial planner curious about the international space, already working overseas and wondering what's next, or simply looking for a career path that rewards deep specialisation, then this is the episode for you.

What we cover in this episode:

• What international financial planning actually means and who the clients really are
• Why cross-border advice has no textbook and why that's the entire opportunity
• How Andreas built the largest client book in his firm without being the busiest adviser
• The supply and demand gap in the international market and what it means for career progression
• What the One Titan philosophy means in practice for globally mobile clients
• The two routes into Titan Wealth International for UK advisers considering the move
• Why moving internationally doesn't mean losing your existing UK client relationships
• What the Denmark/Dubai case study reveals about what 13 years of experience actually buys you
• How Titan Wealth's Next Generation Leaders programme is developing the next generation of international advisers
• Why the international market rewards specialisation faster than almost anywhere in the UK profession
