Читать книгу Complete Family Wealth - Keith Whitaker, James Hughes E., James E. Hughes Jr. - Страница 23

The financial capital of a family is the property it owns. This property may include cash, public securities, privately held company stock, and interests in private partnerships.

The focus of this book is qualitative capital, not financial capital. But that doesn't mean that we think that financial capital is unimportant. Financial capital greatly contributes to families' ability to cultivate their other forms of capital. It makes possible quality health care, education, philanthropy, and the time and opportunities to come together and talk about building and sustaining a shared dream. The opportunity to cultivate these qualitative assets is a great gift, which financial capital makes possible.
