Keynote 1: Wealth and Wellbeing in a World of Unknowable Change

9.30am – 10.10am NZDT, 12 November 2025 ‐ 40 mins

Session

We live in a world where the pace and extent of change in terms of politics, regulations, economics, society and technology is so great that the future is unknowable. On the one hand we are seeing the greatest wealth creation opportunities the world has ever seen but at the same time there is rapid destruction of what used to be past certainties.

 What is critical for future success is to build the capability of the family to:

• Technically revamp the process of portfolio design, construction and management
• Build the emotional resilience and confidence to embrace rapid unknowable change rather than being destroyed by it.
