Family Offices
A family office manages the wealth of one family or of several. It can decide faster than an institution and often invests both in funds and directly in companies.
Raising from family offices
A family office hears from us only when a raise fits what it has told us it is looking for.
Relationships already in place
Family offices and private wealth sit within the over 200 investor relationships we hold, alongside pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and endowments, in the United States, Europe and the Gulf.
Prepared for the principals
Before an introduction, the manager has its answers ready on who manages the money, what the team has committed itself, how co-investment is offered and when the capital comes back.
Reviewed before any introduction
Every raise is reviewed by David Hunter, Senior Advisor, and Anas Ansar, Managing Partner, and the principal has our answer within 48 to 72 hours. An introduction follows only after that review.
Family offices
Fewer layers, and more weight on the people. Much family wealth began with a business, a farm or a trade.
The principals
In many family offices, the family members who built the wealth still take part in decisions. They judge a manager by what it owns and how it runs it.
Direct questions
Who will manage the money, how much of their own capital is in the fund, how co-investment is offered and when the capital comes back.
Trusted introductions
Most new managers reach a family office through an introduction from someone it trusts. Every introduction we make carries our name, so we make it only when the family office and the raise fit.
