Episode 315: Asset Reviews Done Right

Learn how to run an annual asset review the way the world's wealthiest families do. In this episode of Family Office Daily, M.C. Laubscher shows business owners why an asset review is not scrolling through account statements. It's a structured interrogation of your balance sheet. 

Question 1: Is it still doing the job we hired it to do? Every asset has a role: cash flow, growth, protection, or liquidity. 
Question 2: How did it perform against its own thesis, not the market? 
Question 3: What's the risk today? Concentration, leverage, management, market position. 
Question 4: Is it structured correctly? Right entity, ownership, tax treatment, and asset protection. 
Question 5: Would we buy it again today, at today's price? 

Then decide on every asset: hold, grow, fix, or exit, and document the why for the next generation. The Rockefellers preserved wealth for six generations by reviewing, measuring, and acting. An asset review isn't a report card. It's a steering wheel.

Key Takeaways:

💡 Review annually – Structured, not casual

💡 Every asset has a job – Cash flow, growth, protection, or liquidity

💡 Measure against the thesis – Not the market

💡 Risk changes – Even when the asset doesn't

💡 Structure matters – Entity, ownership, tax, protection

💡 Buy it again? – If no, justify holding it

💡 Four decisions – Hold, grow, fix, or exit

💡 Document the why – For the next generation

💡 Steering wheel, not report card – Reviews drive action

The 5 Asset Review Questions:

1. Is it still doing the job we hired it to do? Cash flow, growth, protection, or liquidity
2. How did it perform against its own thesis? Not the market, not your neighbor's portfolio
3. What's the risk today? Concentration, leverage, management, market position
4. Is it structured correctly? Right entity, ownership, tax treatment, protection
5. Would we buy it again today, at today's price? If no, you need a very good reason to hold

The Bottom Line:

Make a decision on every asset (hold, grow, fix, or exit) and write it down. The Rockefellers didn't preserve wealth for six generations by hoping. They reviewed, they measured, and they acted.
