NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- JR Gondeck and Vanessa Martinez, partners and managing directors at The Lerner Group, today announced the publication of Family Value at Risk: Inclusive Communication to Pass on Your Family's Wealth and Legacy. The book is published with ForbesBooks, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes.
With Family Value at Risk, co-authors JR Gondeck and Vanessa Martinez describe wealth beyond monetary value. It takes a comprehensive view of wealth, including family and legacy, as well as the wider community. This holistic approach to wealth management prioritizes a family's overall wealth—derived from multiple aspects of life—because, according to Gondeck and Martinez, focusing only on money puts the entire family's value at great risk.
The Family Value at Risk, or FVR, approach to wealth management is Gondeck and Martinez's solution to two macro trends that are reshaping financial planning and wealth management. The first is a focus on investment returns that specifically prioritizes ROI over other factors. The second is the growing role of inclusivity within financial planning – bringing together the entire family for an open conversation in shaping its financial future.
"We work in wealth advising because we are deeply passionate about helping families successfully grow, manage, and transfer wealth from one generation to the next," said Gondeck. "That passion extends beyond investment returns and into managing a family's assets, estate, legacy, and everything that comprises the family's overall wealth."
Family Value at Risk: Inclusive Communication to Pass on Your Family's Wealth and Legacy is available on Amazon today.
