Скачать или смотреть Episode 32: Irish-Domiciled ETFs, 2026 IPS Refresh, and Luxury Holiday Design

In this week’s Scholar Wealth Podcast, two listener questions that reflect the increasingly global and multi-generational nature of wealth management.

First, how non-U.S. residents can access broad index-fund diversification without triggering unnecessary U.S. estate and withholding tax exposure, including how Irish-domiciled ETFs work, where they differ from U.S. funds, and what investors should consider when building a portfolio from abroad.

Next, a family office whose investment policy statement hasn’t been updated since 2012. Stephan outlines what a modern IPS should include in 2026, from updated asset-allocation parameters and liquidity planning to governance across multiple family branches, philanthropic strategy, and long-term succession considerations.

Finally, in our From the Field segment, Stephan is joined by luxury holiday designer Christine Mango. Christine shares how high-end families approach seasonal décor — from design trends and planning timelines to the craftsmanship and details that create spaces that feel festive, timeless, and personal.
