WE Family Offices Chief Executive Officer Maria Elena Lagomasino Featured On CNN
August 7, 2014
WE Family Offices Managing Partner and Chief Executive Officer Maria Elena Lagomasino was featured in a CNN interview on GloboEconomia. In the interview she discusses how families who have successfully created wealth can manage it in order to sustain and grow their wealth, rather than see it depleted over time. Creating wealth and sustaining wealth require very different strategies, and understanding those differences is crucial.
Mel discusses the importance of understanding the family’s wealth as a whole – what is owned, and how it is owned – and then setting an overall plan and wealth strategy to follow in the day to day execution. Viewing the family wealth as a business helps to overcome the many challenges of wealth preservation and wealth transfer.
Understanding the family’s wealth, and then setting financial objectives is critical to invest the wealth successfully. Once objectives are established, a family can invest their wealth to accomplish those short and long-term goals.
A few highlights from the interview:
- Establishing liquidity and time constraints to choose the investment strategy is critical
- Explore your risk tolerance to make appropriate investment decisions
- Make sure you understand an investment before you make it
