Wealth Planning Essentials
PROGRAM FORMAT: LIVE-ONLINE
In the era of COVID-19, the only certainty is uncertainty. Markets have rebounded from their initial crash earlier in the year, but the state of the global economy remains fragile. Taxes are likely to go up in the coming years in response to rising deficits. How should families manage through the turbulence? In this new live-online program, you’ll gain wealth planning essentials to navigate these uncertain times.
This is an application-based program.
Seats are limited in the full program experience since discussion groups will be capped at 15 people each. Please apply as soon as possible to ensure your place.
In this new live-online program, attendees will gain the tools to incorporate individual and family values in effective wealth planning, creating shared purpose, and strategic philanthropy. You'll examine different approaches taxable investors can take to capture value, from simple to complex, and draw important lessons from successful multigenerational families.
Engage your Family
Members of the same family can derive considerable benefit from taking this program together. The program provides a foundation for continued productive dialogue well into the future. It also can bring together family members from different generations in an environment where they can explore and validate different perspectives. To attend as a family, contact us for a simple group registration process.
This program provides an opportunity to share experiences, express ideas, and connect with your peers. Because some of the most valuable learning in the course takes place in sharing experiences, we create a confidential and solicitation-free environment. All participants must sign a confidentiality agreement before joining the course.
This program is for wealth owners only, with financial assets of USD $10 million or more. Single family office executives may attend with principal family members, but other financial advisors may not attend.
FORMAT
Our live-online programs are delivered in a synchronous
format where you’ll engage with faculty and peers in an
interactive, high-impact virtual environment. The benefit of
this format is that you’ll receive valuable content in short,
digestible sessions to help you absorb the program materials
in-between sessions.
SCHEDULE
This program features live sessions held Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays starting at 9am CST over a two-week period.
Lectures will be recorded and available to participants any time during the program and for three weeks thereafter. Discussion groups will not be recorded.
