Libretto Team

This podcast episode was originally produced and published by Dimensional Fund Advisors.

How can advisors play a more meaningful role in helping affluent families make informed, values-driven decisions? In his debut episode, Dimensional host Stephen de Man welcomes Dave Specht and Jeff Coyle to explore wealth management for highly affluent families. Dave is the Senior Fellow of the Center for Family Business and Entrepreneurs, author of The Family Business Whisperer, and founder of Advising Generations. Jeff is the Founder and CEO of Libretto, and founder of Monograph Wealth.

They discuss how advisors can move beyond portfolio management to guide families on the broader purpose and responsibilities of wealth. Key themes include optimizing the intent behind wealth, prioritizing thoughtful questions over technical expertise, and knowing when to engage specialists. The speakers also highlight the importance of engaging all family members in matters of business ownership, generational transitions, and wealth building.
