Ansin’s hire is part of FOA’s entrepreneurship and next-generation initiatives to “bring new voices to the investment table.” Reflecting this, the summit will focus on issues pertaining to multi-generational wealth holders and the notion that next gen individuals have different values and behaviors than the Baby Boomers generation - a highly talked-about topic in the wealth management arena at present.

“Given the seismic transference of wealth between generations, wealth management firms, especially those in ultra-high-net-worth/high-net-worth , must have the ability to attract, engage, and communicate multi-generationally. Until the wealth transfer is complete, firms must have the staffing to reach a variety of constituencies,” FOA said.

Ansin is co-founder of Clarity Project, a program which supports primary education and adult literacy in diamond-mining communities such as Kono, Sierre Leone. He is also executive director of Every Person Has A Story Productions, a non-profit organization that he founded to raise awareness and foster connections between people in developing countries and students in American schools through photographs. He aggregates these and his other non-profit and for-profit start-ups into a “For-Purpose” initiative.

Angelo Robles, founder of FOA, added that the organization is planning on rolling out a “new digital presence,” including a website and social digital strategy.
