GS&Co. Customer Relationship Summary

Families have many ways to shape how the next generation learns by what means affluence can empower them to make their own contribution to the family and to society as a whole. This learning process includes lessons on the responsibilities of wealth and philanthropy. It often takes place informally and over several years but will happen most effectively during regularly scheduled family meetings. Done properly, and guided by the family’s values, these meetings can inform as well as inspire and can be supported by the family’s trusted advisors. Learn more in our Family Meetings Guide.
