11:00am: FWA Family Office Investment Strategy Survey Results  

12:00pm: Lunch & Discussion: Business Challenges

  • How are you organized? Overall review of structure – how is asset allocation, strategy, tactical moves, portfolio implementation etc. done? How has it changed? Do firms use in-house, trusted external sources or both?
  • What is your organizational structure/roles on in-house research teams and compensation structure? How do you tackle relationship management with advisors? How do you build inclusivity in team, access, opportunity, and clients?
  • Top challenges (and strategies for) interfacing with the client services teams in your organization
  • What does your investment-related technology stack consist of (E.G., rebalancing software, performance reporting) and what are its pros and cons?
  • What impact is AI having on your strategy?
  • How have others constructed their private asset platforms? Do you have in-house pooled vehicles? If so, what is their purpose; what are the pros/cons; what providers do you use; how much do they cost to start-up and maintain?
