Family offices and ultra-high-net-worth families are looking for new strategies to capitalize on and mitigate the risks of an increasingly interconnected global economy. The North American Family Office Conference, now in its fourth year, is the pre-eminent event for members of prominent families and their family office executives to learn the latest strategies for growing and preserving family wealth. In this time of slow economic growth, many family offices are re-structuring as they re-build their portfolios. Family offices must decide what services they will provide in-house and what they will out-source. Family principals and leading family office experts will discuss various structures for the family office to help families find the most efficient and cost-effective way to achieve their goals.

Key themes include:

 The impact of globalization on family office evolution  Frontier economies prospering from the global economy  New approaches to risk management  Educating your family on wealth growth and preservation  Alternatives to traditional fixed-income investments  Preserving capital while seeking alpha  Maximizing returns with sustainable investing  Structuring the family office to maximize efficiency

conference highlights include:

 Unparalleled speaking faculty with executives from the most prominent family offices from around the world  Interactive facilitated table discussions  Closed door roundtables for family principals and family office executives  Peer-to-peer networking opportunities throughout the event Gala Evening held at Fenway Park home of the Boston Red Sox

Bringing together prominent family speakers, in-depth research and a wealth of industry experience, The North American Family Office Conference is exclusively for family principals and other family members, executives from their private family offices, close advisors and significant private investors.
