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, will explore the delivery of Integrated Family Wealth Management (IFWM), and our new Multiphasic Service Model. There will be 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, will be held from 2-4 p.m. on November 13, prior to our Welcome Reception.

The Training and Symposium are available for members to attend either virtually or in-person.
