    Multigenerational Wealth
    In a 20-year study of high-net-worth families, it has been observed that only 30% had successful wealth transitions. The main reason for these transition failures was a breakdown of communications and trust within the family. Multigenerational planning goes beyond the creation of estate planning documents. To increase the likelihood of a successful transfer, families need to discuss their values, define their legacy, and create agency for future generations. The plan is not effective unless it is communicated.

6Investing in the market entails the risk of market volatility. The value of all types of investments may increase or decrease over varying time periods. The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of sustainable or impact investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because sustainability and impact criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.
