Extensive Experience
We have formed a network of third-party advisors that have extensive experience in working with families to develop customized wealth management solutions that will fortify meaningful connections, foster independence, empower succeeding generations, and establish succession-planning mechanisms for family-owned businesses.
Our advisors
Our advisors start from the premise that governance and education are functions of identifying the family’s financial values, goals, interests, and requirements. They reject universal solutions and adopt a personalized approach that aims to protect a family’s unique legacy. Ultimately, they recommend the optimum family office structure that helps the head of the family to define long-term objectives.
Our advisors will help to facilitate and lead:
Determining the Need for a Family Office
Jakob Fugger’s advisors begin engagements by identifying the benefits of a family office. Most families that start a family office have portfolios with a value of at least US$50M. Within this environment, a family office can:
For most families with assets in a range of US$50M, a multi-family office structure can accomplish all of these purposes while saving administration costs. Families with investment portfolios valued at more than US$100M might prefer a single-family office with dedicated management that is not responsible for other family office structures. A Jakob Fugger family office advisor will recommend the optimum alternative and provide options for different management and administration structures.
Determining
Family Office Goals
In conjunction with determining the need for a family office, Jakob Fugger's advisors will consult with families to establish goals. Those goals will determine the overall complexity of the final structure that they recommend. The factors they consider will include more than just financial and investment goals and will include the geographic diversity of the family, relationships with financial, legal, and accounting advisors, differences between personal and group interests, exit structures, and succession planning.
Goals will not be met unless the family appoints a family wealth manager who brings experience and professionalism to the task of growing and protecting a portfolio for future generations. Because no role is static, succession and transition planning must be incorporated into the family office structure. Jakob Fugger’s advisors help families to address these and other challenges that often go unaddressed as families grow and expand.
