Adapted from Charlotte Beyer’s 2017 book, Wealth Management Unwrapped, Revised and Expanded, comes a new term—relationship alpha (α), a competitive advantage for firms serving private clients and more predictive and longer lasting than traditional measures like alpha or beta. While Beyer’s book is addressed to investors, the Appendix (reprinted here) is addressed to advisors. Each of the “10 Principles of Principal” Beyer presents for investors has a corollary that a firm can apply to its management processes, culture, marketing methods, and client service protocols. Expanding on these 10 best practices, the author explains how relationship a can be securely and successfully embedded into a firm’s everyday activities, earning the trust and loyalty of private clients.

An insider’s guide to the coming philanthropic revolution Meet the next generation of big donors—the Gen X and Millennial philanthropists who will be the most significant donors ever and will shape our world in profound ways. Hear them describe their ambitious plans to revolutionize giving so it achieves greater impact. And learn how to help them succeed in a world that needs smart, effective donors now more than ever. As “next gen donors” step into their philanthropic roles, they have not only unprecedented financial resources, but also big ideas for how to wield their financial power. They want to disrupt the traditional world of charitable giving, and they want to do so now, not after they retire to a life of philanthropic leisure. Generation Impact pulls back the curtain on these rising leaders and their “Impact Revolution,” offering both extensive firsthand accounts and expert analysis of the hands-on, boundary-pushing, unconventional strategies next gen donors are beginning to pursue. This fascinating book also shows another side of the donors in Generation Impact: they want to respect the past even as they transform the future. They are determined to honor the philanthropic legacies and values they’ve inherited by making big giving more effective than ever before. If they succeed, they can make historic progress on causes from education to the environment, from human rights to health care. Based on years of research and close engagement with next gen donors, Generation Impact offers a unique profile of the new faces of philanthropy. Find out, directly from them: How they want to revolutionize giving to expand its positive impact on our lives and our communities. Which causes interest them, how they want to engage with those causes ... and, perhaps more important, how they do not want to engage. Which new tools and strategies for change excite them most. What they are learning from previous generations, and what they want to bring to their work alongside those generations. How we can all ensure their historic potential is channeled in ways that make our world better. The Impact Revolution will be messy, but it could also result in solutions for some of our most persistent problems. Generation Impact offers targeted, practical advice to parents, families, and their advisors, as well as nonprofit professionals—those who work closest with these next gen donors—on how to engage, nurture, and encourage them as they reshape major giving and make their mark on history. Help them channel their enthusiasm—and their wealth—to make the most positive difference in a world with such great need.

Dr. Fredda Herz Brown's latest book, "The Essential Roadmap: Navigating Family Enterprise Sustainability in a Changing World", helps readers to navigate the twists and turns of successfully sustaining a family-owned enterprise.A previous book, The Family Wealth Sustainability Toolkit: The Manual, was coauthored with former colleague and partner Fran Lotery. That book elaborated a model of family enterprise sustainability developed around four dimensions including Family Legacy and Connection, Governance Structure and Processes, Financial Accountability and Management and Human Capital and Leadership Development. Today, from her extensive experience with clients as well as data collected by her firm, Relative Solutions, that model has evolved to deal with the changing circumstances of enterprising families. Using primary research tools including The Family Enterprise Sustainability Index, it now includes an important fifth dimension of Generosity and Gratitude, which captures the sense of connection going beyond family and local community to a more global perspective. The Essential Roadmap: Navigating Family Enterprise Sustainability in a Changing World deeply examines these five dimensions and newly focuses on developing resilient family enterprises who are able to plan for the future and meet the twists and turns of a rapidly changing global world. The Relative Solutions team found that while sustainability sets a foundation and plots out a roadmap for moving ahead, something more is needed; that "something" is resilience, which is the ability to be resourceful and deal with change in the face of challenges and even adversity. Resilience is the ability to be agile, to bounce back and beyond-and to be better off for doing so. Resilience allows for change without impacting the family's core identity, its basic values and mission.The book sheds light on the paths to maintain a healthy enterprising family. It focuses on maintaining healthy resilient relationships and the development of behaviors that will provide the framework for the future. It suggests ways to handle the inherent challenges and conflicts that arise along the way. And it provides many rich examples of families who develop behaviors and structures in each of the dimensions to flourish and grow for generations to come.
