One approach that can help investment advisors go beyond the familiar "Know Your Client (KYC)" information gathering is to use a genogram to map a client's family history. The genogram looks like a family tree, but also provides detailed information about current and past family relationships and helps identify financial patterns and family values over generations. Mike Wallberg, CFA, speaks with Kim Curtis, CFA, CEO of Wealth Legacy Institute, Inc. and best-selling author, about the genogram technique to help advisors better understand a client's family dynamics that can lead to more productive wealth management planning and deeper client relationships.
