Times are changing for that special ring ? the engagement ring. Imagine that you want to get married and are thinking of popping the question. Part of the fun is the process of buying an engagement ring for your wife-to-be. During the search online for an engagement ring you come across a website saying that you can buy a diamond wedding ring for US$1,200. How does this bargain price make you feel? Indeed, something is quite different. This interview by Raimund Kamp, of the Netherlands, with award-winning Dutch goldsmith, Eric van Limpt, is about a fascinating trend in the jewellery industry: the possibility of environmentally friendly lab-grown diamonds. What is the impact of this technology? Will this change the jewellery industry more environmentally and will it shift the mindset of upcoming generations? -
(Article) Parental expectations: effective guidelines or messy messages?
01.12.2016
Every parent wants their child to be happy, feel good about him or herself and lead a successful meaningful life. Parenting is a tough, challenging and sometimes overwhelming job. All mothers and fathers have expectations of their children, sometimes already pre- birth: what will our son or daughter look like and what will become of him or her? What is the purpose of expectations? Does it make a difference for children who grow up in an upwardly mobile, privileged, well-to-do environment? Families who have family offices are part of the wealthy environment, and it would help if their family offices have an understanding of these issues. -

(Article) Reflections on working with multigenerational families and family offices on wealth transfer
01.03.2022
In this article I share practical insight into working with high-net-worth individuals, their families and family offices. What are the main challenges and concerns when wealth and/or a family business has been transferred? Complexity of the wealth and the family are determining factors for a tailor-made approach towards soft issues. Later in this article, I elaborate on a three-mandate advisory concept: an expert adviser, facilitator and coach. This concept might give more guidance and connect the dots between hard and soft issues in multi-generational families. I will also describe how 'serious games' are useful tools for expert advisers who work with multigenerational families and family offices.
