New for 2021/2022: Family Office Initiative
We are developing a curriculum to analyze the implications of the growing importance of family offices on both private industry and society. It is estimated that roughly 18,000 families globally have a net worth at or above $250 million. These families control a disproportionate amount of wealth globally. Consequently, how this wealth is managed, and used, has significant societal implications. Research topics include their impact on early-stage technology funding, philanthropy, strategies for wealth preservation and next generation empowerment.

Despite the growing importance of family offices, there is still limited understanding about their impact among both the families themselves, academics, and policymakers. The professional maturation of a family office industry includes robust guidance on best practices and expert I peer collaborations. Academic training is therefore of immense importance to families, those who advise and engage with them, and society at large.
