"The building of wealth, the management of wealth, and the deployment of wealth are activities that lie at the very heart of what has made America great."
--GREGORY CURTIS

Managing capital successfully is naturally important to wealthy families. The true role of wealth, however, goes far beyond personal advantage. Private wealth, explains wealth advice expert Gregory Curtis in The Stewardship of Wealth: Successful Private Wealth Management for Investors and Their Advisors, is essential to the vigor, resilience, and creativity that have made the United States the most successful nation in history. In this detailed, insightful book, Curtis reveals how--and why--financial planners, fund managers, and high-capital individuals everywhere can successfully ensure their wealth for current and future generations.

The Stewardship of Wealth begins by exploring the crucial role private wealth plays in America's remarkable economic and cultural success. It then examines the most critical issues faced by wealthy families, such as understanding investment risk, ethical behavior and conflicts of interest, finding the right financial advisor, and the challenge of making sound family investment decisions.

Finally, Gregory Curtis offers you a step-by-step guide to the successful management of liquid wealth, focusing on best investment practices from portfolio design to manager selection to monitoring investment performance.

The successful stewardship of wealth, Curtis argues, goes beyond dollars-and-cents to include our relationships with our children and marriages, work ethic, and social values. By making wise personal choices, we can achieve happiness with--rather than despite--our wealth.

Wealthy families have already made an important contribution to America's remarkable economic success. With this powerful "owner's manual" to private capital, families can build a lasting legacy that will contribute to America's strength for generations to come.
