What is a Family Office?
A family office is a private wealth management advisory firm that serves ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families, typically those with at least £100-250 million in investable assets. Family offices provide comprehensive financial services including:
Single-Family Offices (SFOs) are private entities established by one wealthy family to exclusively manage their financial affairs, offering maximum customization, privacy, and control. SFOs typically require minimum assets of £100-250 million to justify operational costs.
Multi-Family Offices (MFOs) serve multiple wealthy families, providing shared resources and economies of scale while delivering comprehensive wealth management services. MFOs typically accept families with £30-50 million+ in investable assets.
