“When money realizes that it is in good hands, it wants to stay and multiply in those hands”.

5Gens was established to help families in Latin America and Europe safely and properly transfer assets to, at least, members of their 5th generation.  Most wealthy families have issues securing their wealth past the 3rd generation!  

Our goal is to form a strong, long-lasting, collaborative partnership.  By long-lasting, we specifically mean 5 Generations! Everything we do is focused on providing confidential financial advising and investment management to individuals, trustees, and families. Being a true fiduciary, all we do, we do for our clients, and this includes accepting and welcoming performance-based fees. 

Investment advice is provided, with the advisor making the final decision on investment selection. 5Gens does not act as a custodian of client assets. The client always maintains control of their assets. 5Gens manages assets on a discretionary basis.  No assets are managed on a non-discretionary basis.

Beliefs & Values

CHERISH THE FUTURE TOGETHER AS A FAMILY

We work with families that want to pass along their wealth to at least the 5th Generation.  We specialize in governance and investment strategies to make sure this happens. Beyond wealth management, we focus on harmony, and ideally unity, between family members and particularly, between generations. 

ENVISION THE FUTURE

In the long term there will be changes. We have to foresee them and do investments with a minimum horizon of 5 years each.  We do not do day-trading or react to every single daily event.  We follow an investment methodology based on trends and buckets and do monthly decisions on investments through our Investment Committee.

INVEST SUSTAINABLY

Our clients' expectations have changed. Beyond the pursuit of returns, there is now also a desire to invest in a way that is useful to the economy and society. We offer investment strategies that address sustainability challenges while pursuing long-term financial performance.

it takes only 3 generations to destroy a family's wealth. “Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations” is a common adage to describe this misfortune.

The Irish proverb, “clogs to clogs in three generations” is a global phenomenon that appears in every culture.
