Families · the family’s own office

Your family gains its own office — built for it, owned by it.

A family office is not a service you rent; at its best it is the family’s own house of affairs. The House designs and sets up that office — the entity, the people, the order in which it works — so the family holds everything in one place, under its own name and its own control.

When this is your situation

The family’s capital has outgrown the private banker and the accountant, and calls for a centre of its own.
Assets, structures and advisers are scattered across several jurisdictions — and no one sees the whole picture.
You want a centre that belongs to the family, holds everything together and outlasts the change of generation.

What the House does

The House builds the family’s own single family office: the entity in a jurisdiction that recognises one — such as DIFC or ADGM — its governance, its mandate and the order by which it works with the family’s banks, managers and lawyers. The office belongs to the family; the House designs it, sets it up and remains beside it as adviser.

A map of all the family’s capital: assets, holdings, advisers, jurisdictions — in a single graph.
The choice of jurisdiction and form for the family’s own office, and its registration through licensed partners.
The office’s governance: who decides, who reports, how the family is represented in it.
The order of work with the existing banks, managers and lawyers — under the office, not beside it.
Consolidated reporting across all the capital, and a succession architecture for the change of generation.

What you get: a single graph of all the family capital · the family’s own office, registered in the chosen jurisdiction · its governance and mandate · an order of work with banks, managers and lawyers · consolidated reporting across all the capital

What worries you — and the House’s answer

“We are not large enough for an office of our own.” — The office is sized to the family: as much structure as the capital needs, and no staff kept for show.
“We will have to change all our advisers.” — The office sets the order in which your present bankers, managers and lawyers work together; it does not displace them.
“This will turn into an endless process with no result.” — The mandate has a fixed scope and a point at which the office stands and works.

Where this leads

The family gains its own office: one centre that sees all the capital and holds it together, under the family’s name and control. Structure, investments, reporting and succession cease to be scattered projects with different people. And when the time comes to pass the affairs to the heirs, what passes is not a scatter of accounts but an ordered system.

Fee

by mandate

The scope depends on the family and the jurisdiction. It begins with a Diagnostic, which is credited against the mandate fee.

A family needs one centre of its own, not ten advisers.
