Session
AI is the easiest story to tell and the hardest to understand. We reduce it to what to own, what to automate, when its real effect is that it now crosses into everything at once: markets, industrial policy, energy, the operating business, the family’s own sense of purpose. That simplicity is a camouflage. Arun Abey unpacks the layers beneath it, and what they mean for families holding wealth through an age of extraordinary creation and equally rapid destruction. What does diversification mean when a handful of AI-exposed names dominate the index? Which inherited certainties, in the portfolio and in the operating business, are most exposed? Where does augmentation create durable advantage for a family enterprise, and where is it just cost? What has to stay fixed? Purpose, values, the family’s own definition of enough? What I like is how the session touches on the complexity of wealth transfer from the principal’s role as an executive, decisions in portfolio resilience and considerations for generational success.
