By GlobalDataMorgan Stanley executive director and Family Office resources generalist Elizabeth Chand commented: “There are many excellent and well-established programmes that help estate planning professionals continue developing their technical skills in the field.
“While these areas are of undeniable importance, we believe that a family’s long-term success and happiness depend to a far greater extent on their ability to develop, nurture and manage their human capital – matters that come within the ambit of family governance and legacy.”
