In this episode of Investing for Doctors, Dr Bi sits down with Grace Mathew, Managing Director of WeThink Group, to unpack what family offices actually do differently and why succession planning fails even at the billion dollar level. Grace spent years running investment strategy inside a single family office linked to the family behind Coca Cola, before going independent to advise family offices, funds and ultra high net worth families around the world.

We cover what a family office actually is, how it differs from simply having a lot of money, why less than a third of family offices managing over $1 billion have a proper succession plan, and why the biggest wealth transfer in human history is about to land on a generation that was never taught how to manage it. We also break down single versus multi family offices, what it actually costs to set one up or join one, and why family office structure is just as much about protecting wealth as it is about growing it.

This is part one of a two part conversation. In part two, Grace and Dr Bi get practical, how doctors can start borrowing these exact strategies no matter their net worth.
