37% Investment Specific Risks

• Portfolio risk, manager risk, timing risks, style risks, business risks…

26% Economy and Financial Markets Risk

• Economic downturn, inflation, deflation, energy costs, and availability…

16% Political and Tax Risks

• Higher personal income taxes and estate taxes, legal liability risks, government

intervention…

Only 7% of the perceived risk is family dynamics and relationship problems!

• Poor family communication and relationships, educating next generation issues,

governance issues…

Risk Perception “WHAT DO I THINK WILL BITE ME?”

60% of the failure is due to a lack of communication and trust.

25% of the failure is due to unprepared heirs.

Only 3% of the failure is due to failures in financial planning, taxes and investments!

Risk Perception – “What Bit Me?” WHY DO 90% FAIL?

“If that factory burned down, it would be tough, but we’d get through it. However, If the family

fell apart, we wouldn’t get through it. This is important to us; it’s a line item on our business

budget every year. We spend money and time on this every year, just like we do with our

management team!”

The Hard Questions – Preparing the Family for the Money• When does a person become a member of the family?

− Prenuptial agreements; a “gate in,” or a “roadblock out?”• What does “equal” mean?• What is an appropriate lifestyle, and when should it start?

− Should trusts pay for “lifestyle?” or: invest into the beneficiaries?• Should we sell or keep the family business?• What do we do with the vacation house?• What consequences should family members be subject to?

− How should WE enforce these consequences?• What “types” of beneficiaries might we create?

− How should the trust handle each “type?”• Who should apologize, who’s “right” or who’s “wronged?” …• How do we create independence AND interdependence?

The Easy Questions – Preparing the Money for the Family• How do we minimize taxes?• How do we invest the family money?

Governance Questions to AnswerSTEP FIVE

44

The Three Big Questions

1. How Much is Enough?

• The amount for which you prepare them. Preparing them for nothing is as hard as

preparing them for millions

2. When Do We Tell Them?

• When they are ready to hear it. Use “little train” opportunities to challenge them.

3. How Do We Break the Paradigm, “Shirtsleeves to Shirtsleeves in Three Generations?”

• Build flexible family teams and empower them.
