Purpose of Wealth

You've invested blood, sweat, tears and hard earned cash into your business. But as much as things might be going OK,  you never know what's around the corner. “Nothing is certain except death and taxes”  Benjamin Franklin once said. In modern life, turns out there's a multitude of other complicated twists you might also have to deal with - all the D words - Divorce, Defactos, Family Dynamics, Cognitive Decline, and the list goes on. This brings with it a bunch of legal, financial, and personal considerations, which all come under the heading Succession Planning. Basically, making sure you are sorted for things that might happen and the one thing we all know definitely will happen.  So let's get on board the D Bus and talk through the issues with Australia's very own Will Whisperer - Eliza Newson, Director - Trustee Services with Mutual Trust in Melbourne.  Want to know more about the ground breaking research Why the Modern Family Office Matters?

Thanks to the research Why the Modern Family Office Matters, we know that wealthy families have a huge positive social and economic impact on our nation. But lasting impact depends on those families going the distance, prospering over the generations. And an important part of prospering is having open conversations about the challenges of wealth transfers, and sharing family history.  In this special episode of Purpose of Wealth, host Narelle Hooper sits down with Lady Marigold Southey, the daughter of one of Australia's most significant retail empires. How has the Myer family built and maintained such a substantial business and philanthropic legacy into its fifth generation? What is the glue that keeps the family together? You'll find out from Lady Marigold Merlyn Baillieu Southey AC herself.  Want to know more about the ground breaking research Why the Modern Family Office Matters?

A bit like the evolution of the interweb, wealth advice has gone through some fairly hefty iterations. From a time when it was largely about money and compliance, to approaches that demand a far deeper understanding of family dynamics, as well as a holistic approach to wealth.  Where we're at now has been termed Wealth 3.0. It involves a pretty big mindset shift - not only for founders and family elders who have been guarding and growing their assets since formation, but also for the advisers who guide them.  In this third episode of Purpose of Wealth, host Narelle Hooper unpacks developments in the role of family wealth advice, the new skills this is demanding of wealth advisers, and a look ahead to what's coming - as she sits down with Dr Dennis T Jaffe, co-author of Wealth 3.0: The Future of Family Wealth Advising, and Brad Simmons, partner in the Family Office with Mutual Trust.  Want to know more about the groundbreaking research Why the Modern Family Office Matters?

We know that families of wealth have a huge ripple effect on the economy - in terms of jobs, entrepreneurship and community impact. But did you know we're also in the midst of what they call the Great Wealth Transfer? It's estimated that three and a half trillion dollars of wealth will pass between generations in Australia over the next two decades, and it's already begun.  But there's a huge point of tension emerging - will these families take the necessary steps to ensure their wealth thrives when they throw the keys to the kids and the grandkids? In this second episode of Purpose of Wealth, sit down with host Narelle Hooper as she chats with world leading advisor on family governance and wealth preservation, James (Jay) E. Hughes Jr., and Elizabeth (Lizzy) Goldfinch, Director in the Family Office Team at Mutual Trust, as they delve into how great transformations can take place when families reframe how they think about wealth, and what they really want to do with it.Want to know more about the ground breaking research Why the Modern Family Office Matters?
