Frequently asked questions about Family Office

We are able to structure a family office regardless of the size of your investment portfolio in order to ensure that you derive similar benefits of the much larger family offices in a cost effective way.

Governance around managing your family investments, accountability to ensure that actions get completed and education of family members for future generations.

If structured appropriately, the costs of managing a family office should be insignificant when compared to the benefits of running a successful family office.

Education is critical in a family office as the children will understand the family’s
portfolio of assets and be more prepared to cope with intergenerational wealth transfers. Of course, if there are sensitivities of sharing certain information, we can work with you to
determine how to structure the family office that will address your concerns.
