Report Highlights

On a global scale, wealth managers are sitting on the fence when asked whether disassociating US clients is too drastic a measure. On a country scale attitudes toward US clients are very different, and some firms are seeing a niche market developing whereby US-friendly firms welcome with "open arms" those individuals rejected from US-averse firms.

FATCA may have been postponed to 2014 but the challenges remain the same. A FATCA strategy must embrace flexibility. It must react to the growing intergovernmental agreement environment. Enhanced due diligence will become a fact of life and causing minimal strain on the client relationship is paramount.

FATCA is the beginning of a wider and more transparent global tax environment that all firms must take anticipatory measures for now.
