    What distinguishes a family office from traditional wealth management?

    A family office provides more comprehensive and personalized service than traditional wealth management. While wealth management typically focuses primarily on investments, a family office coordinates all aspects of a family’s financial life, including tax planning, estate management, philanthropy, and family governance. This integrated approach ensures all financial decisions align with the family’s overall objectives and values.

    What is the minimum asset level for family office services?

    Family office services are typically most appropriate for families with substantial wealth, generally starting at $10 million in investable assets. However, the specific threshold depends on the complexity of the family’s needs and the scope of services required. We work with each family to determine the most appropriate service model based on their unique circumstances.

    How do you help prepare the next generation?

    Next-generation preparation is crucial for long-term wealth preservation. Our approach includes:

    • Customized financial education programs
    • Mentoring and guidance from experienced professionals
    • Gradual involvement in family governance
    • Support in developing financial responsibility and leadership skills
