Best-in-Class Practices: Family Education It is a universal cultural parable and, sad to say, one that often
holds true: “From shirtsleeves to shirt-sleeves in three generations.”
Too many wealthy families become victims of the cycle. The first
generation, through hard work and enterprise, achieves uncommon affluence.
The second generation does its best to build upon the success. But the
third generation, living off past achievements, does little to contribute to
the family’s forward progress. As a result, so much is squandered, both
financially and emotionally, that any hope of creating an everlasting family
legacy is long gone. Quite obviously, the needs of ultra-affluent fami
lies go far beyond mere money management and are often not the strong
suit of traditional wealth advisors. The concerns are serious and complex:
How to make collective decisions and solve disputes, how to foster a
younger generation to be successful, and, above all, how to create a model
of family governance that guarantees an enduring legacy. That’s one
reason why families seek the services of a multifamily office
that can provide a wide array of comprehensive services, including special
attention to matters of family education and governance. Click Here to Read More (PDF)
