The modern family office: meeting the needs of today’s wealthy families
Wealthy families’ requirements are like other investors’ – they want to grow their wealth and keep it safe. But at a detailed level their needs can be far more complex.
Having managed family wealth for generations, we are familiar with the needs of families and with the evolving challenges they face.
At one level families’ requirements are like those of all investors, in that they seek to safeguard their wealth and grow it over time. But in other ways their needs can be significantly more complicated.
Family members may live across many countries and they may require global investment solutions, with a wider range of asset classes.
They may also need specialist help when it comes to implementing through their investments their particular values in relation to the environment and society.
Our family clients’ wealth originates from many sources, with a high proportion being first-generation wealth arising through business ownership.
Our own business is still largely owned by the Schroder family, and as a result of that ownership we have a unique insight into the needs of today’s families of wealth.
