Download or read book Family Wealth written by James E. Hughes, Jr. and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2004-06-01 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The landmark book that changed the way exceptional families think about their heritage, their wealth, and their legacy to future generations--now revised and expanded. Every family, looking at the next generation, hopes to confer advantages that are more than just material and financial--to inculcate character and leadership, to inspire creativity and enterprise, to help all family members find and follow their individual callings, and to avoid the financial dependency and loss of initiative that can all too often be an unwanted consequence of financial success. Yet many families never succeed in realizing that vision, much less sustaining it for three, four, or five generations and beyond. James Hughes has thought deeply about these challenges, and his insights are at once practical and profound. For more than three decades, he has personally guided multiple generations of families in creating strategies to preserve their human and intellectual capital as well as their financial assets. His teachings synthesize insights from psychology, anthropology, political history, philosophy, economic theory, and the law, with examples ranging from Aristotle to cutting-edge social science theory. His ideas have been taken up by numerous exceptional families, by their advisers, and by scores of authors, practitioners, and academics who have found value in the methods he pioneered. The first edition of this book, privately published, became a word-of-mouth classic. Now, Hughes has updated and substantially expanded it with new chapters that challenge conventional notions of wealth and offer guidelines for conserving family assets in the broadest senses. Filled with tested principles and practices for family governance and joint decision making, it is a rich source of workable wisdom that family members can put into practice today, to the enduring benefit and gratitude of future generations.

Download or read book Family Wealth Continuity written by David Lansky and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most family business owners and wealth creators share an important vision: perpetuating family and wealth for many generations to come. To ensure wealth continuity, many families put into place various structures, plans, and processes, including estate plans (which may include multiple trusts), ownership succession plans, governance structures/strategies, and others. These sometimes-elaborate plans are aimed at preserving family wealth. In reality, for many families, they don’t. In fact, it has been estimated that a majority of estate plans in place fail, largely as a result of family conflict or communication problems. Author David Lansky reveals here that too many one-size-fits-all and elaborate continuity plans fail to take into account the idiosyncratic family factors that can interfere with continuity planning. Lansky details further how building the right foundation will help families implement the best continuity plans. Addressing that foundation effectively includes understanding the building blocks that make it up, assessing their strengths, and developing strategies to improve them. The specific building blocks include:• Learning Capacity • Familyness • Safe Communication Culture • Commitment to Personal Development• Effective Leadership of Change While richly informative, this book is not intended as a training manual, but rather as a starting point for important ideas and conversations. In fact, the goal of this book is to help families consider several related factors that go into a foundation for continuity, and to build more effective continuity plans and strategies based on their assessments.

The seven imperatives, which make up the core of the book, serve as both a guide to the critical insights necessary for successful family wealth management, and also serve as a step-by-step process to help families develop and implement their own unique investment strategies, and achieve the full set of their family's related objectives. Comprehensive, practical, and easy to apply, this work can serve as an important reference guide for family members and their wealth managers around the world for this immediate period - and for many years to come.

Download or read book More Than Money written by Michael A. Cole and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new, more comprehensive approach to long-term family wealth management More Than Money provides a high-level, integrated approach to preserving both financial resources and family harmony. Research has shown a failure rate of 70 percent in long-term multigenerational wealth management, and contrary to popular assumption, only five percent of that failure is due to bad investment, poor tax planning, or inadequate performance by legal and financial advisors. The number-one reason family wealth management fails is the family itself; poor communication, lack of trust, divergent visions, and a failure to prepare succeeding generations will tear down the resources the family has worked so hard to build. Traditional wealth management cannot fix this. Instead, this book offers a fresh approach that integrates strategic and tactical wealth management to align the family’s assets with the family members. With helpful tools and advice drawn from a real-world understanding of family complexities, you’ll improve your ability to preserve your family’s resources over multiple generations. With an expert’s perspective on the real forces behind successful family wealth management, this book provides a clear model and a practical roadmap for long-term financial preservation. Develop a shared family vision and mission Improve communication and trust among members Merge strategic and tactical planning Ensure the longevity of your family’s wealth The wealth management sphere tends to focus on taxes, investments, banking, and estate planning, but little thought is given to the people themselves—this overlooks the fact that individual family members are the most critical factor in multigenerational wealth management, and fails to provide solutions. More Than Money merges traditional strategies with family dynamics, communication, governance, and preparation to help your resources last for generations to come.

Book excerpt: Selected as one of Motley Fool’s “5 Great Books You Should Read” Advice on managing your wealth from bestselling author Bill Bonner From trusted New York Times bestselling author Bill Bonner comes a radical new way to look at family money and a practical, actionable guide to getting and maintaining multigenerational wealth. Family Fortunes: How to Build Family Wealth and Hold on to It for 100 Years is packed with useful information, interwoven with Bonner's stories about his own family's wealth philosophy and practices. A comprehensive guide that shows how families can successfully preserve their estates by ignoring most of what people think they know about "the rich" and, instead, training and motivating all family members to work together toward a very uncommon goal. This book is a must-read for all individual investors—even those who do not plan to leave money to their children—because it challenges many of the most ubiquitous principles and rules of investing. You might expect a book on family wealth to be extremely conservative in its outlook. Instead, the Bonners announce what is practically a revolutionary manifesto. They explain: Why family money should NOT be invested in "safe, conservative" investments Why charitable giving is usually a waste of money, or worse Why it is NOT a good idea to let children go their own way Why you can't trust wealth "professionals" and why you should never entrust your money to money managers Why giving your children as much education as possible is NOT a good idea Why Warren Buffett and the rest of the rich people asking for higher tax rates are wrong to take "the pledge" Why Wall Street is a graveyard for capital, why most celebrity CEOs are a threat to the businesses they run, why modern capitalism is a failure, and more You will come away with a very different idea as to what family wealth is all about. It is not stodgy. Not boring. Not moss-backed and reactionary. On the contrary, it is the most dynamic, forward-looking capital in the world. The essential guide to passing wealth from one generation to the next, Family Fortunes is filled with concrete, practical advice you can put to use right away.

Download or read book Can Your Family Wealth Management Plan Pass the 360 Stress Test written by Paul Miller and published by Blurb. This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family businesses are the backbone of the American economy. It is not surprising, therefore, that many founders of family businesses want the fruits of their labor to survive and continue to grow for generations to come. For families of wealth, the set up and maintenance of a successful Wealth Preservation, Transfer and Succession Plan often involves complex elements and techniques that require advanced planning and proper tool implementation by a broad team of professionals. Unfortunately, a critical factor that Families of Wealth often overlook in this process is having a 360° Family Wealth Manager oversee and coordinate their diverse cast of professionals, frequently including lawyers, accountants, stockbrokers, insurance agents and bankers. This lack of oversight and coordination by a 360° Family Wealth Manager can result in unintended but severe consequences. Throughout this book, Kevin Ellman, CFP and Paul Miller, Family Wealth Managers, use a combination of case studies, and in-depth examination of the various planning tools, strategies, and techniques, that can be employed to help reduce or even eliminate the potential damaging effects of poor Wealth Preservation and Transfer Planning. In their view, Kevin and Paul believe that 360° Family Wealth Management provides the best opportunity for implementing and maintaining a successful Family Wealth Management Plan. Can Your Family Wealth Management Plan Pass The 360° STRESS TEST?
