In this episode of "Wealth Actually", I speak with George Hubbard. George is the Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Algonquin Advisors, a Registered Investment Adviser that focusses on large families, foundations, endowments and other pools of money. He and his firm bring a unique approach to family investment management that uses tried and true institutional principles.
Pay special attention to our discussion around alternative assets and the role of the asset class for family investments. George also talks about bringing "trustee" principles to investment implementation.
And in honor of the U.S. Open at Winged Foot, we talk about what his dream foursome would be and where it would be played.
