Director David Ummels to speak at Guernsey Private Wealth Forum 2026, highlighting the importance of specialist stewardship in supporting private wealth management.

Le Riche Fine Art Storage is delighted to announce that Director David Ummels will be a featured speaker at the Guernsey Private Wealth Forum 2026, taking place in London on Tuesday 10 November.

Organised by Guernsey Finance, this year’s forum, themed “Art of Wealth”, brings together international wealth advisers, trustees, family offices and industry specialists to explore the growing importance of luxury and passion assets within private wealth management.

David’s participation provides an opportunity to highlight Le Riche Fine Art Storage’s increasingly important role within Guernsey’s private wealth ecosystem, providing the specialist facilities, expertise and professional stewardship that enable collectors and their advisers to protect and manage valuable assets.

The Missing Piece in Luxury Asset Management

As private wealth structures evolve, high-net-worth individuals and families are increasingly looking beyond traditional investments to include fine art, classic cars and other valuable collections.

For trust companies, fiduciaries and wealth managers, these assets present both opportunities and responsibilities. While financial and legal structures provide the framework for ownership, succession and wealth preservation, valuable physical assets also require specialist care, secure custody and ongoing professional management.

This is where Le Riche Fine Art Storage plays an essential role.

By providing the specialist infrastructure and expertise needed to safeguard important collections, the company enables professional advisers to offer their clients more comprehensive solutions without having to develop these specialist capabilities themselves.

Enabling Guernsey’s Private Wealth Ecosystem

Guernsey has long been recognised as an international centre for private wealth, supported by its established financial services industry, robust regulatory environment and network of experienced professional advisers.

Le Riche Fine Art Storage complements this expertise by providing museum-grade, climate-controlled storage, specialist handling, secure logistics, art advisory and collection management services.

Through collaboration with trust companies, family offices, legal advisers and wealth management professionals, Le Riche provides an important practical component of integrated luxury asset management.

Rather than operating solely as a storage provider, the company acts as a trusted specialist partner, helping advisers bridge the gap between financial structures and the physical preservation of valuable assets.

David Ummels to Speak at “The Collection”

David will join international specialists for “The Collection” fireside discussion at 14:55, alongside Thomas Frei of Hill Dickinson and Julian Washington of Sotheby’s.

The discussion will examine the practical considerations surrounding the ownership, management and preservation of high-value assets.

David Ummels, Director of Le Riche Fine Art Storage, commented:

“I am delighted to be participating in the Guernsey Private Wealth Forum and contributing to the discussion surrounding the Art of Wealth.

Guernsey has an exceptional network of trust companies, family offices and professional advisers who understand the complexities of managing private wealth. However, when that wealth includes fine art and other valuable physical assets, specialist stewardship becomes an essential part of the solution.

At Le Riche Fine Art Storage, our role is to provide that specialist expertise and infrastructure, enabling professional advisers to offer their clients a complete and trusted solution for managing and preserving luxury assets.

I look forward to discussing how closer collaboration across our industry can further strengthen Guernsey’s position as a leading jurisdiction for the management of passion assets.”

 

 

Protecting Assets, Supporting Advisers, Preserving Legacies

For collectors, professional stewardship provides reassurance that valuable and often irreplaceable assets are protected to the highest appropriate standards.

For trustees and wealth managers, it provides access to specialist capabilities that support their wider responsibilities for asset protection, risk management and succession planning.

For Guernsey, these complementary services strengthen the Island’s ability to deliver comprehensive private wealth solutions to international clients.

Le Riche Fine Art Storage is proud to contribute to this developing ecosystem, combining specialist knowledge, discretion and long-term stewardship to protect the financial, cultural and personal value of exceptional collections.
