The world of wealthy families & family offices is filled with complexities & changing variables. However, the principles of creating & maintaining wealth for the family remain a constant. What should also be part of that constant is the defined higher purpose of the family to navigate the terrain of opportunities that wealth brings & how a difference can be made in humanity. The current plethora of literature tends to be geographically focused on the United States.

The topics covered in this guide are varied but are all rooted in issues relevant to wealthy families.
