Email: m.consol@irei.com but when you take those dollars, invest them, compound them and so on, those dollars become vastly magnified over time, something all good advisers understand. What's more, the private wealth business is in the right place geographically. ough gambling is spanning the globe, the United States is still by far the largest gambling market in the world, with China a distant second. ere is no need for the private wealth business to build the equivalent of casino hotels (investment hotels just doesn't have the same ring) or offer free nights in high-end suites to high rollers, but it might behoove RIAs to make themselves more exciting to people whose spending obviously runs on adrenalin. One can imagine a targeted marketing campaign aimed at the 15 percent of Americans who gamble at least once per week, according to the National Council on Problem Gambling, and the 6 million people whose habits qualify them as having a gambling problem. If that cohort could be converted from gambling to opportunistic investing, how much better off would they be? When have you ever heard someone having an "investment problem"? In that context, one begins to realize this is not just about the private wealth business hitting the jackpot by pilfering business away from the gambling industry, it's about doing good by people and society — especially when you consider the array of harmful effects that arise from gambling, including that about 50 percent of problem gamblers commit crimes, and about two-thirds of those crimes are directly related to the gambling. Maybe some rogue would rob a liquor store or knock over a bank and hustle those ill-gotten gains to their wealth adviser to underwrite the next exciting invest- ment they are hell-bent on adding to their portfolio. But I wouldn't bet on it.
