The concept of impact isn’t new, and in recent years has been discussed considerably from an investment and philanthropic perspective. But at FOX we believe “impact” can have a broader meaning, based on how each unique family defines it. While that can vary widely, the families themselves are similar in their ability to think strategically, embrace risk-taking, and align their vision and values.

The pandemic has created tremendous disruption on many levels causing dramatic changes in how we work, communicate, travel and manage risk. Our reliance and integration of technology has created data security risks across the office and family. Talent is on the move, and it remains difficult to find and retain critical employees, and where and how they work has forever changed. The regulatory and tax landscape is rapidly shifting, causing a renewed focus on longer term planning and structural changes in the office.
