Creating generational wealth brings the opportunity to define a family’s legacy. The creation of that wealth is merely the beginning of the story, and thinking about the chapters to come requires both an understanding of the challenges and responsibilities of being a steward of wealth.  Pathstone is committed to helping our clients create that legacy through education and communication so that the wealth managed today is wealth that lasts generations. Pathstone created FuturePath to facilitate the communication and implementation of wealth stewardship. In 2021 Pathstone hosted several online events and forums and published articles, all of which speak to financial education and advice on creating generations of financial stewards.
