Insightful Education.

Actionable Ideas.

Meaningful Collaboration.

As a nonprofit think tank and learning exchange, The UHNW Institute is elevating the wealth management industry to a new standard so that families and their advisors can foster prosperous and meaningful relationships from one generation to the next.

THE UHNW INSTITUTE IS COMMITTED TO OUR PRINCIPLES:

  • Empowering ultra-high-net-worth families and family offices with a comprehensive understanding of the wealth management industry so that they can make the best possible choices to meet family needs across generations.
  • Educating advisors and wealth management firms by providing insights and resources to advance how they serve ultra-high-net-worth clients.
  • Fostering sustainable positive change in the wealth management industry by promoting the latest thinking and best practices to serve clients and groom next-generation advisors.
  • Operating as an independent, objective organization that avoids conflicts of interest and any appearance of “pay to play.”
