Das Wealth Management ist für den Finanzplatz Schweiz von besonderer Bedeutung und geniesst international einen ausgezeichneten Ruf. Auch für die Schweizer Volkswirtschaft spielt das Wealth Management eine wichtige Rolle, leistet es doch einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Wertschöpfung des Finanzsektors. Veränderte Rahmenbedingungen wie die Relativierung des Bankgeheimnisses oder zunehmende Auflagen durch verstärkte Regulierung stellen das Wealth Management in der Schweiz jedoch vor grosse Herausforderungen. Die neuen Rahmenbedingungen führen dazu, dass sich die Schweizer Banken neu positionieren müssen, um ihre starke Marktstellung langfristig sichern zu können. Das Wealth Management in der Schweiz befindet sich in einer Phase der Neuausrichtung. Von zentraler Bedeutung ist dabei die Frage, wie und wo für den Kunden ein Mehrwert geschaffen werden kann. Auch für das Berufsbild des Kundenberaters im Wealth Management bedeuten die veränderten Rahmenbedingungen einen Wandel. So wird die Kundenanalyse zur konkreten Bedürfnisabklärung immer wichtiger, weitere und vertiefte Kompetenzen müssen entwickelt werden. Die Aus- und Weiterbildung der Kundenberater wird folglich mehr denn je eine wichtige Rolle einnehmen. Die Standortvorteile der Schweiz, das Know-how der Mitarbeiter sowie die Erfahrung der Schweizer Banken im Wealth Management bieten eine gute Ausgangslage dafür, dass der Schweizer Bankenplatz diese Herausforderungen meistern kann und so auch künftig international eine führende Stellung einnehmen wird. Es bleibt spannend, die weitere Entwicklung zu beobachten.

One of the most pervasive issues facing educators and administrators in Adult Basic Education (ABE) is student persistence. The purposes of this qualitative study were 1) to identify the experiences that African American adult learners associated with their decisions to leave ABE programs; 2) to ascertain the impact of participants' perceptions of participation in ABE relative to their self perceptions and individual learning goals; and 3) to examine the extent to which barriers perceived by participants were consistent with barriers identified in the existing literature. Three research questions guided this study: 1) what experiences do participants associate with past decisions to leave one or more ABE programs; 2) how do participants view participation in ABE relative to their self perceptions and individual learning goals; and 3) do participants perceive barriers other than those identified in the literature? This study was guided by an interpretivist theoretical framework. It was conducted at a nonformal ABE program offered by a nonprofit organization. The participants were six African American learners enrolled in ABE at the time of data collection, each of whom had previously failed to persist in this or some other ABE program. Data sources include individual interviews, focus groups, classroom observations, artifacts, a research journal, and field notes. Findings of he study indicated that African American ABE students perceived a number of barriers. Situational barriers included family obligations, health problems, and work. Dispositional barriers perceived by participants were low self-efficacy, shame, and negative perceptions of racial identity. Age was identified as both a situational and a dispositional barrier. Lack of tutor persistence, lack of individual attention, embarrassment in the learning setting, and dissatisfaction with instructional options were structural barriers identified by participants. Additional structural barriers found included lack of cultural relevance in instruction and overemphasis on grammar. Boshier's Congruence Model accurately predicted the participation decision of three participants. The study's findings suggest that African American ABE students' participation decisions are greatly impacted by their experiences in the learning setting and individual self perceptions. Unavoidable life events and competing obligations also led to learners' failure to persist. .
