Overview

At what level of wealth does a single-family office pay for itself? On the figures in this book, a fully staffed five-person office costs 2,442,000 a year, and the crossover with a multi-family office falls at 567 million.

The family office is one of the most interesting and least understood institutions in finance. It serves one family, or a few, and manages their whole situation: the portfolio, the structures, the reporting, the risks, the philanthropy and the next generation. This guide explains how single-family and multi-family offices are organized, how they invest and operate, and what they ask of the professionals who work in them.

Who this book is for
  • Finance and investment professionals considering a move into the family office world
  • People already working in an office who want a broader map of the territory
  • Members of a family building or refining its own office
  • Advisers, bankers and managers who serve family offices
The cost question, answered with numbers
  • The same office costs 244 basis points of a 100 million fortune and 12 of a 2 billion one.
  • At 250 million it costs 98 basis points against 56 for a multi-family office; at 1 billion, 24 against 35.
  • Framed as a hurdle, the single-family office must outperform by 42 basis points a year at 250 million, but only 3 at 500 million.
  • A family building at 300 million is paying about 870,000 a year for control, confidentiality and continuity. That may be excellent value. It is a different decision from believing the office costs nothing.
