The Importance of Family Engagement

Wealth may bring vast opportunities to families, but can also present challenges. Many families strive to overcome those challenges by creating and maintaining healthy family dynamics through an environment of learning and open discussion surrounding the family’s legacy. Creating an open forum of communication and navigating complex issues together often provides an opportunity to prepare the next generation to sustain your family’s wealth.

But where do you begin?

Discussing wealth transfer and inheritance issues can be difficult, but the rewards can prove significant when family members work together to overcome their fear of demotivating heirs by improving communications and strengthening trust. We’ll discuss three practices that many successful families have employed to help future generations assume the responsibilities of managing and stewarding the family wealth.

Investing involves risks and you may incur a profit or a loss. Asset allocation/diversification cannot guarantee a profit or protect against a loss.
