How Leading Family Offices Grow Future-Fit with Impact

Deep-dive into how experienced impact-oriented principals and family office managers operate, for real.

This unique program, in partnership with impact-forward single family office VP Capital, empowers private wealth holders to understand how others, sometimes very differently positioned, wealth holders think and structure their processes to run an impact-oriented family office.

The course draws on CSP’s eight years of experience helping wealth holders develop and implement sophisticated, sustainable investment strategies with impact at their heart. Specifically catered to the needs and challenges of principals and single-family office leadership, this purpose-built training showcases how various impact family offices have operationalized impact investment to equip family offices for their next move. The course is exclusively targeted at wealth holders with family offices and senior staff of single family offices.

Key aspects about the program

Focus - Strictly taking the perspective of wealth holders and single family office managers

Format - Fully interactive with deep discussions, answering the questions of all participants

Cases - Impact-leading wealth holders or family office executives sharing openly and in detail about their own setups

Setting - Protected university environment free of conflicts of interest (strictly non-solicitation) and all discussions under Chatham House Rule

The course laid a solid foundation for understanding different family governance structures and provided a clear path forward on what the best options are. I was inspired by the speakers!

I attended the course with my two daughters. The course was perfect in providing us guidance and direction on managing our impact-focused family office. The program provided a great mix of examples and frameworks. We loved hearing the stories from others in a similar situation to us, in an informal and very welcoming format. The connections with, and candid sharing of experience of, other attendees and faculty were even more valuable!

There is a lot one can read about impact and investments, however, learning from other families how they are walking their unique path of impact investment, with its ups and downs, struggles, and changes over the years, gave us the courage to take our first steps without having figured it all out. The high-level knowledge and insights that the CSP team members added offered an insightful theoretical framework. The balance between the practice and theory created an inspiring and deep learning experience for both our advisor and myself.
