Manager vs. Investor Breakdown

    Investor Breakdown

      The Opal Family Office conference in NAPA was the place to be. It fostered productive idea and practice exchanges and was the scene of many earnest sharing sessions focusing on how to get it right. Good and useful relationships were forged that will be long lasting and helpful. James S. Rosebush

      Founder and CEO, The Wealth & Family Management Group

      Opal Family Office events are unparalleled and the second annual Family Office & Private Wealth Management Forum in Napa was no exception. I was honored to be among a prestigious and knowledgeable slate of speakers. The feedback I heard as an advisory board member throughout the conference reflected that quality and the depth of knowledge illustrated in every session. Networking at Opal events not only yields good business relationships, it fosters long-term professional friendships. Lisa Grey
