This program is ideal for those:

• striving to maintain prosperity and a flourishing family through retirement and, for many, across generations.
• contemplating-or recently experiencing-a significant liquidity event, whether through the sale of a company, inheritance, or other major wealth transition.
• committed to engaging their families in more productive dialogue about the challenges and opportunities of wealth.
• seeking added confidence to evaluate and select financial advisors and/or to set strategic direction for a family office.
• We have found that multiple members of the same family derive considerable benefit from taking the course together. The program gives them a foundation for continued productive dialogue well into the future.

The course is a great introduction to personal financial planning. It's in relatively plain English, and manages to outline the importance of: establishing long term goals, risk vs return, ownership structures and planning. It also helps to explain the type of decisions our parents, aunts, and uncles are making in the family business, without the bias of it coming from a family member. It's a good networking opportunity. Course participants were from all across Canada ranging from 1st to 3rd generation. It was nice to talk to others who are in a similar position and hear about their family dynamics.

The course brought both the emotional and fiscal nature of the family balance sheet into focus. The course addressed human matters with precision and financial issues with heart. Our family has certainly benefited from the experience.

The program was neither too easy, nor too hard. There were a variety of ways in which one could participate to suit a variety of experiences and skill sets.

2015 Program Participant

As a member of the third generation of our family office, this program provided a much needed opportunity to learn and share from other families experiencing similar situations as our family. More importantly, it opened my eyes to a number of issues and processes our family needs to address as well as reaffirmed our instance on regular and well structured inter-generational communication. This is an extremely worthwhile program for any family interested in maintaining family wealth and fostering family engagement.

2015 Program Participant

The course introduced me to a wide variety of professors and participants, all thinking about similar issues. The experience made me question some of my assumptions, while providing a network of people to reach out to as I reshape some of my thinking. The course environment felt both challenging and supportive.
