Learning Objectives
The modern concept of family office has its roots in the 19th century, thanks to the insights of people such as art collector JP Morgan and the Rockfellers, who founded their own family office to manage their family assets.
Today, family offices – different kind of organizations which manage large private fortunes -- are among the most active and fast-growing segments of the wealth management industry, with over 10,000 firms (as estimated by EY in its 2016 EY Family Office Guide) in a market worth 5.1 trillion USD (Source: UBS Group/ Pricewaterhouse Coopers).
The purpose of this course is to give participants a good understanding of this industry’s background and to make them familiar with notions such as risk profiling, investment process and consolidation of complex portfolios pertaining to the same family. In other words, we aim to give participants an edge in terms of knowledge.
Traditional class lectures with simulation games (risk profiling, investment committee and portfolio simulation).
