Understanding Source of Funds (SOF) and Source of Wealth (SOW)

Understanding Source of Funds (SOF) and Source of Wealth (SOW)

What is Source of Funds (SOF)?

Is the origin of a person’s money or financial assets, so we need to understand not only where funds came from but the activity that was involved in generating those funds-

Examples of SOF:
  1. Personal savings
  2. Pension releases
  3. Share sales and dividends
  4. Property sales
  5. Inheritances and gifts
  6. Compensation from legal rulings

What is Source of Wealth (SOW)?

 Refers to the means by which a person has acquired their entire body of wealth. The main question here to answer is why the client has the assets they do and how they came to accumulate them.

Examples of SOW:
  1. Inheritances
  2. Investments
  3. Business ownership interests
  4. Employment income
  5. Tax Returns**
What is the difference between SOF and SOW?
  1. SOF is about the origin of specific funds or financial assets.
  2. SOW is about the overall wealth and how it was accumulated.
