Dear Member-Partners and friends,
In just a few moments, I'll be - quite literally - rolling into bed with a belly stuffed with turkey and dressing-almost as full as the turkey's was before it got into mine, come to think of it. But before doing so, I wanted to "count my blessings" and share them with you, as has become my Thanksgiving tradition.
Last year at this time, 610 families joined with us in Member-Partnership to acquire $200 million in assets. Today, there are 1,295 of us, and our combined capital resources are $300 million. Our "build-out" values are approaching $2-billion. And we did it (thank heavens!) without exposing ourselves to the volatility of the stock market.
Which brings me to why I wanted to write you this evening. And that is to say how thankful Adam Gant and I are for your friendship and the trust you've placed in us. We count it a great honour and privilege to be your friends as well as your partners. We are indeed blessed.
We pledge to continue looking after your family's wealth with the same care and vigilance as we do our own. After all, our fortunes are tied directly to yours. Your success, esteemed partners, is our success too.
From all our families at League to yours, we wish you continued health, happiness and prosperity.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Emanuel.
