Wealth & Finance International 20 “Every one of our client managers are top-rated, with over a decade of experience each. I get deep down and dirty when dealing with clients work myself. I stand and manage information booths at events, I travel around the world with clients introducing them to investors, analysts, brokers and media. I put together kit materials and marketing materials for clients, running to and from the post office to ensure information is received and sent to the appropriate parties. I organize lunches and events and attend as needed. “No job is over my head or beneath me — I do not believe in that. I do whatever is necessary for every client of mine – and treat each job as my own – because at the end of the day – my job depends on it and their businesses do as well. I also am on top of every event, every webinar, every conference, every news topic, etc not only for my client’s needs but for Pristine Advisers as well. I want to ensure we are con- stantly on top of our game. “Do we know all of the new rules and laws? Do we know the latest technology? Do we know what others are doing and why? Should we be doing that? Why and why not? What can we be doing better? Do we know every angle and why/why not we should go that route? My days are a continuous flow of learning and exploring every possible thing we can do for us and our clients, ensuring we not only know what needs to be done and how it needs to be done, but what we should be doing and why we shouldn’t be doing it. “I like to have answers to everything before questions are asked…this is what helps us stand above many of our peers but also keeps us on top of our game. Knowing why we should or should not be doing something is fundamental to a client’s success.” Patricia then turns her thoughts to specific challenges for Pristine Advisers specific to their jurisdiction. Since they are an outside agency, it is not their job to tell businesses how to run their business, so the firm can only advise others on how they should do this and what they should be saying and doing. Patricia expands on this point. “We know the investment community and what they seek and how they function, as well as laws and compliance rules - so we are on a constant hamster wheel moving forward keeping up with everything to ensure we are doing all that we can for our clients – but a challenge is for a company to believe us and allow us to do our job successfully. “We can give the greatest advise but if they do not wish to do things the way we recommend and advise – then things may not work out the way we hope. We have been in the industry for over 30 years and know this like the back of our hands….and trusting us (even though we are outside) is key and fundamental to a successful program. Our stellar reputation and client accolades speak to the success of our programs”, Patricia continues, before outlining her insights into the profession she is a part of and the areas of her work that interest her the most. “I believe the fact that every day is a new story is what excites me the most. Unlike some jobs where you do the same thing every single day – and it tends to get boring — here in our business every single day is different. I literally have no idea what my day has in store for me until I turn on my email in the morning. There are constantly new challeng- es, new events, new technologies, new news, etc, and every day is a learning day – where we are constantly learning new things, new ways of doing things, how best to position our clients, etc. It keeps things from getting boring and mundane – and also keeps things fresh and challenging which helps to keep us on our toes.” With such a positive and enthusiastic approach to her work, this is no doubt an indication of Patricia’s goals for 2017, which are to grow the company and expand their client base and staff members. Pristine Advisers represents companies of all shapes and sizes across the globe. For some odd reason, they are well known in the closed-end fund space, however, closed-end funds/CEFs are not all that the firm represent. “We work with companies, authors, businesses, ETFs, hedge funds, CEFs, MLPs, BDCs, REITs, etc. etc. and ensuring that everyone knows that and comes to us to assist them is my goal. We have been working with businesses of all sizes and locations for decades already and ensuring that is known to everyone is key for us” Patricia goes on to explain before offering her closing thoughts about the challenges she has to look forward to in the future. “I believe once the world knows that we represent so many businesses, the biggest challenge again is for businesses to allow us to proceed as we see fit for them. Our goal is to place them #1 in the eyes of the world and to introduce them to key influencers. Keeping on top of technology and programs is also key as these are constantly changing and we need to ensure we stay ahead of the curve for our clients. Many times, it is challenging for people to break out of their comfort zone, but doing so can open up the doors for their success. It is human nature to be nervous to try something new. But that is what will help set them apart from the competition. “Pristine Advisers has been doing this line of work for three decades now. While we may not be known to ‘everyone’, we can assure you that we are known by those that matter to you. Investors, analysts, brokers, media — they all know us and respect us and follow us. We are experts in our field – we stand above our peers – we offer top notch service at the lowest prices out there. Let us prove ourselves to you. You will not be disappointed.” Company: Pristine Advisers Name: Patricia Baronowski Email:
