Show Notes

Season 2, Episode 4
Over the next 25 years, as much as $68 trillion in wealth will pass from baby boomers to their GenX and Millennial children and grandchildren. Meanwhile, studies show that this younger crop of investors place a much greater emphasis on values when it comes to money management than their predecessors. Will “The Great Wealth Transfer,” as it’s called, then disrupt Wall Street’s profit-first-damage-control-later approach? For some answers, we turn to Community Capital Management (CCM), a financial management firm that has studied the phenomenon in detail. We’re joined in this episode by Alyssa Greenspan and Jessica Botelho of CCM who, along with filling us in the The Great Wealth Transfer, share point-in-time stories from their visits to properties CCM played a role in financing.
