FTS and Fidelity Family Office Event:
Relevancy and the Family Office

      Relevancy.....It's that anxiety caused by a sinking feeling that the office and the family might be drifting away from you. Regardless of your position in the family office system, there are key questions to ask.

        The challenges to the continued relevancy of single family offices and our own bearing as family or non-family leaders in that system are as broad, as they are deep. Questions swirl, some of which are practical and some existential.

     Through an open discussion in small group format, we unpacked the threats to our relevancy and to the relevancy of others in our systems. We explored these issues together and learned from one another's perspectives and experiences! :-)
