BOSTON, Jan. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Harvard Business School (HBS) Executive Education will host Building a Legacy: Family Office Wealth Management on the HBS campus in Boston from April 23-26, 2019. This new program will provide an in-depth analysis of best practices in family wealth management. Participants will explore the governance, structure, and investment challenges that are unique to families and discover new approaches for managing and preserving family wealth.
High-net-worth families are facing new challenges in today's complex investment landscape. This program is designed to help participants gain the insights they need to build a professional family office, find solutions to wealth management issues, and explore the full range of investment opportunities available to them. Participants will emerge with the confidence to design a wealth management strategy and structure that meets their family's goals.
"There are more family offices today than ever before, which makes wealth management for high-net-worth families increasingly complex," said Lauren H. Cohen, L.E. Simmons Professor of Business Administration and faculty cochair of Building a Legacy: Family Office Wealth Management. "Successful family offices are adept at managing the tension between family dynamics and investment decisions. This program will equip participants with the tools to address these specific challenges and deepen their understanding of unique investment opportunities for high-net-worth families."
Building a Legacy: Family Office Wealth Management's curriculum will focus on family wealth goals and structure, family office portfolio management, family office opportunities and strategies, and impact investing and partnerships. This program will include faculty presentations, case studies, and small-group discussions. To broaden participants' global perspective, the program will draw insights from real-world case studies on established family offices around the world.
"This program will help participants set clear goals that reflect their family's priorities and principles so they can find solutions to their biggest wealth management challenges," said Christopher J. Malloy, Sylvan C. Coleman Professor of Financial Management and faculty cochair of Building a Legacy: Family Office Wealth Management. "Participants will also build relationships with a diverse group of peers who can provide wide-ranging insights into future business challenges and career decisions."
Building a Legacy: Family Office Wealth Management is designed for executives from a family office or wealth management office, family business owners, beneficial owners, and other family members. The program is particularly appropriate for chief investment officers, chief executive officers, investment managers, and top family business leaders. It is also appropriate for family members with a range of financial acumen — from expert to novice. Attendance by multiple company representatives or family members is encouraged but not required.
As with other HBS Executive Education offerings, Building a Legacy: Family Office Wealth Management will rely on research from leading HBS faculty, collaboration with industry peers, and learnings from real-world case studies from successful, innovative global companies.
