Financial experts have emphasised the growing importance of long-term wealth planning and global investment strategies as individuals and families navigate rising inflation and currency volatility.

Speaking at The Global Wealth and Legacy Forum in Lagos, Director of Wealth Management at Savory & Partners, Luke Coupe, said that businesses and families must adopt global strategies to ensure sustainability and preserve wealth across generations.

He noted that understanding and utilising available wealth solutions is critical in today’s volatile economic climate, stressing that long-term planning remains essential in addressing financial challenges.

According to him, the forum focused on educating people about international wealth solutions that go beyond traditional investment approaches.

Coupe also highlighted the importance of legacy planning, stating that both newly acquired and inherited wealth require structured strategies to ensure continuity.

‎“An integrated approach to wealth management, including trusts, investments, and tax planning, is key to building resilient financial structures,” he said, adding that offshore investments can help protect assets from inflation and currency devaluation, particularly in African economies.

Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Savory & Partners, Jeremy Savory, stressed the need for greater financial education, noting that wealth stewardship requires more than conventional academic knowledge. “Families must be equipped not just to build wealth, but to sustain and transfer it effectively,” he added.

He said that second citizenship offers more than travel benefits, enabling asset separation and global portfolio diversification. “It allows individuals to manage risk and access broader financial opportunities beyond the limitations of a single nationality,” he said.
