DreamMakers’ Forum Debuts Wealth in Black America Survey Results

The 2008 DreamMakers’ forum in Atlanta featured a discussion of Northern Trust’s groundbreaking Wealth in Black America survey. Lyle Logan, executive vice president at Northern Trust, moderated the insightful panel discussion that included
Linda Johnson Rice, president and CEO of Johnson Publishing Company, and John W. Rogers, Jr., chairman and CEO of
Ariel Investments.

The Wealth in Black America survey found that affluent blacks share the same concerns as other affluent individuals about how their wealth will affect their children and future generations. However, the survey also showed that they tend to follow more conservative investment practices than their counterparts, and are far more likely to invest in cash-equivalent products and real estate.

Northern Trust’s DreamMakers’ forum provides a unique venue every two years for successful black business owners, corporate executives and professionals to examine, discuss and learn about the issues and opportunities that arise through the creation, preservation and transfer of wealth. You can read more about the Wealth in Black America survey in the Winter 2009 issue of Wealth.
