A single family office is a holistic full balance sheet wealth management and financial solution for ultra-wealthy individuals or families. It is an organization dedicated to preserving, and investing the capital of its family.
Single family offices have been around in different forms for over 500 years but it was just in the 1930's-1960's that the modern day version started to take form...and even know many people do not understand what a single family office does or how they operate or invest their capital.
The single family office industry is growing quickly and if you would like to learn more about creating a single family office, family office executive search, family office co-investments, family office jobs, family office training, our family office association or single family office investments you will enjoy this PowerPoint overview of the industry.
