HFOP Module 6 - Portfolio Management

Overview

This is Module 6 of the Henley Family Office Program (HFOP). We change our focus from the context of a family office structure to the day-to-day operations of the family office.

This module has three lectures. The first one takes us through the aims and practical aspects of Portfolio Management. It includes an introduction to bonds and equities. It also introduces the private-wealth focused asset classes of real estate, hard assets, structured products and more. Family-oriented asset allocation and benchmarking will also be discussed.

The second lecture focuses on digital assets, what they are, how they might fit into a family's portfolio, and what the family office needs to know to manage them.

The third lecture is on the Endowment Approach, which is an effective approach for maintaining family wealth for generations to come.

This module is a 6-hour (approx. study time) course and is eligible for 3.5 SFC CPT/PWMA OPT hours.
