The Future of Family Wealth Advising:
Positioning Your Firm for Success
November 13-14, 2024 | New York City
The Fourth Annual UHNW Institute Symposium, The Future of Family Wealth Advising: Positioning Your Firm for Success, explored the delivery of Integrated Family Wealth Management (IFWM), and our new Multiphasic Service Model. There were discussions on family needs and trends, strategic considerations for firms, options relating to the delivery of integrated solutions, new service delivery models — structure and implementation, considerations for outsourcing and establishing strategic alliances, storytelling from peers and plenty of networking and time to connect.
A free, optional, training session for Institute members on the Ten Domains of Family Wealth, was held from 2-4 p.m. on November 13, prior to our Welcome Reception.
The Training and Symposium was available for members to attend either virtually or in-person.
Our Strategic Partner, Family Wealth Report, shared the UBS venue with us on November 13, for their Tenth Annual Family Wealth Report Family Office Investment Summit, and offered complimentary entry to Institute members wishing to attend for the full day or up until the optional 10 Domains Training Session.
