What’s most important about our family?
What do you think our goals should be?
What are our strengths as a family?
How should we take care of relatives who are or become sick or disabled?
How should we resolve our disputes?
How important is the family business to you?
What professionals or structures should we bring in to help us?
What do you think the role of our family should be in helping the community?
What should we be doing individually and as a family with regard to philanthropy?
Example: Smith Family Mission Statement

Experiences are more valuable than possessions.
Spend time outdoors as a family.
Explore the world and welcome others into our home.
Support (through financial and volunteer efforts) public education and the Cancer Support Community of the Bay Area.
Spend time with those we love and respect – and feel the same way about us.

Bull and Bear Markets

Indices are not available for direct investment; its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the management of an actual portfolio. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The S&P data are provided by CRSP (January 1, 1926–August 31, 2008) and Bloomberg (September 1, 2008–present). Returns include reinvested dividends. Bull and bear markets are defined in hindsight using cumulative daily returns. A bear market (1) begins with a negative daily return, (2) must achieve a cumulative return less than or equal to -10%, and (3) ends at the most negative cumulative return prior to achieving a positive cumulative return. All data points which are not considered part of a bear market are designated as a bull market. Performance data represents past performance and does not predict future performance.
