Description
Most families focus on building wealth, but few know how to preserve it across generations. Research shows that 70% of families lose their wealth by the second generation and 90% by the third. This course explores why that happens - and how families can build a lasting legacy beyond money.
In this practical and engaging course, you will learn how successful families transfer not only financial wealth, but also values, wisdom, responsibility and purpose. The course combines practical financial planning principles with behavioural finance and family insights and real-world family dynamics. You will discover how wealth is influenced not only by investment returns, but also by communication, governance, relationships and preparation of the next generation.
Topics include what wealth is, wealth creation, investing, governance structures and family constitutions, trusts and wills, family constitutions, preparing children financially, family businesses, philanthropy and navigating the economic, tax and political realities that influence generational wealth.
Whether you are a parent, entrepreneur, investor, retiree, financial planner or family business owner, this course will help you think differently about wealth and equip you with practical tools, strategies and frameworks to strengthen your family's future and create a meaningful legacy for generations to come. This may well be a defining moment in your legacy.
