The Capital Stack

Why sophisticated families proactively divide assets to preserve relationships — autonomy as a conflict prevention tool.

Multi-generational families increasingly divide assets earlier rather than later. Instead of one pool managed by committee, they create separate pools for each branch with independent decision rights. The key insight: autonomy isn't about distrust — it's about recognizing that reasonable people can have different priorities, time horizons, and risk tolerances.
