Learn more about BI Prime View online       Wall Street Insider         Hi, readers. I'll keep things short this week, since we're reaching peak vacation season and finance news is probably not top of mind right now. This week we had a really fun wealth-management story, in which we asked a handful of top wealth advisers about the most out-there requests they've gotten from their rich clients. Answers ranged from assisting in a personal-butler search to difficult situations like figuring out how to manage risks after an accident. Why does this matter? The pool of high- and ultra-high-net-worth assets in the US has been pegged at more than $20 trillion.

To that end, our new wealth-management reporter, Rebecca Ungarino, had a story this week about how UBS has formed a group to help its wealth advisers provide a "family office"-like experience for billionaire families. It comes as the bank works to make good on raking in $70 billion in new US assets over three years. We'll be writing a lot more about the wealth-management industry going forward, so please reach out if you have any tips we should be digging into. Have a great weekend! Olivia KKR has quietly started hiring college seniors. We have the details — and what it says about how private equity is battling banks to fill six-figure jobs.

Now they're keeping some around to help spend all the money they've raised. Private-equity firms often send associates on their way after two or three years. But with firms raising record capital and megafunds north of $10 billion becoming more common, top associates are being asked to stick around to help put that money to use, industry recruiters say. That's a departure from what typically happens after associates enter into two- to three-year programs at PE firms. Once that time is up, firms nudge many associates out the door, either asking them to leave or writing them a recommendation to business school, sometimes with the promise of a vice-president-level job after graduation.
