Family offices have emerged as a formidable force in recent years, experiencing a significant increase in overall magnitude and managing trillions of dollars in wealth accumulation. This growth underscores their significant impact on the wealth management landscape. The reasons for this surge include the increasing complexity of managing substantial family fortunes, the desire for greater control over investments, and the need for tailored financial strategies that align with the family’s long-term goals and values.
Given that many family wealth structures often exceed the value of private operating businesses, they require the same level of professional skill and care in their management. Family offices must navigate a myriad of financial, legal and regulatory challenges, necessitating a team of experienced advisors and professionals.
