At the Legacy Forum, Guillaume Desclée, CEO and Co-Founder of the Abbove platform, outlined his company’s core mission: to help families turn their wealth into a true source of growth and harmony, rather than conflict.
The "Beyond Money" Shift: From Financial Problems to Human Issues
The Abbove journey began with an insight gained through workshops conducted with high-net-worth families: the main obstacle is not financial, but human. These families were primarily concerned about the impact of their wealth on family harmony and succession.
Abbove was designed to address this challenge. The platform provides a clear understanding of the situation and tools that promote transparent communication within the family. This clarity allows families to anticipate major life events and ensure constructive dialogue. The very name Abbove symbolizes this mission to go beyond money (Beyond Money).
The Urgency of Wealth Transfer and the Role of Technology
Guillaume Desclée highlights the urgency of transferring wealth to the Next Gen, which requires holistic, values-aligned advice. The risk is clear: 80% of this generation plans to switch advisors after the transfer.
To prevent this, Abbove provides its technology to professionals. The platform ensures family engagement by involving spouses and children in the wealth management dialogue, thereby ensuring a smooth transfer. Its presence at the Legacy Forum underscores this ambition to elevate wealth management in the service of human endeavors.
