Crain Currency
Verified
Newsletter (Digital)
Crain Communications, a 106-year-old family-owned media company, is proud to announce the launch of a new brand focused on building and maintaining generational family wealth. Crain Currency, a digital news and community networking product, is designed for families managing wealth and legacies. A weekly newsletter launched on June 29 — a robust website and invitation-only networking platform will follow later this year. Potential audience members are invited to visit www.craincurrency.com to be considered for inclusion.
The new product is aimed at a primary audience of people who head family-owned businesses and family offices, the structures created to manage family wealth. The audience will also include professionals who advise families and individual private investors. Because many families make direct investments in companies, the audience will also include serial entrepreneurs and private equity and venture capital principals. Source

How AI is shifting expertise inside family offices
For much of family office history, knowledge moved in one direction. The principal held the institutional memory. The heir observed and eventually inherited authority along with the assets. That model assumed the tools of the trade were stable. They are not. A generation is entering family offices with a genuine technical advantage over those who built them. Fluency in new tools increasingly affects how capital is deployed, monitored and assessed.
Four children of Indonesia’s richest family inherit $3 billion each
The children of Michael Bambang Hartono received shares worth at least $2.93 billion in the family’s holding company, marking one of Asia’s biggest wealth transfers in recent years.

He and his brother Robert Budi Hartono owned just over half of Bank Central Asia, Indonesia’s largest lender, and other businesses through PT Dwimuria Investama Andalan.

Why family offices should look beyond tax losses in long-short strategies
Tax-aware investing has become an increasingly important part of wealth management as investors place greater emphasis on after-tax returns. Tax-aware long-short strategies are among the newer approaches in this area, combining active equity management with systematic tax-loss harvesting to improve long-term after-tax outcomes. For founders, executives and high-net-worth families facing significant capital gains, the appeal is straightforward.

Why family offices need to price flexibility into estate plans
There was a time when nearly every estate planning meeting for ultra-high-net-worth families started with the same question: “How do we reduce estate taxes?” The playbook was familiar. Transfer appreciating assets early. Use irrevocable trusts. Move future growth outside the taxable estate before it compounds beyond reach. For decades, that defined sophisticated estate planning. For many family offices, it still does.
