The type and scope of support depend on the individual needs and financial situation of each family. Through increasing professionalization, existing structures, processes, and investment decisions can be optimized and adapted to current requirements. While some families prefer only advice from a trusted contact person, other families' Family Offices operate similarly to private equity investors.   <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"-Q4aO hw1z8 hD2az o-zp-\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-a6h0f5095\"><span class=\"ATqq4 hD2az\"><span>A fundamental distinction is made between Single Family Offices (SFOs) and Multi Family Offices (MFOs).

This includes, for example, personal assistants, property managers for real estate at home and abroad, chauffeurs, or security personnel. This team is complemented by financial and legal advisors, as well as asset managers, who exclusively manage the family's wealth. A classic SFO operates like a business with the goal of securing, optimizing, and increasing the family's private wealth. The core tasks include strategic investments as well as the legal and tax structuring of assets.     <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_3 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module blockquote\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span>An SFO is particularly attractive for families (or family branches) who have jointly inherited wealth that is intended to be preserved. A typical example is the joint management and preservation of an art collection or a real estate portfolio, where family interests are bundled, and long-term strategies are pursued. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_4 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"-Q4aO hw1z8 DcaPr o-zp-\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-tbout6111\"><span class=\"ATqq4\"><span>SFOs can be individually structured:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"-Q4aO hw1z8 hD2az o-zp-\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-xyn4a6151\"><span class=\"ATqq4 hD2az\"><span>Some family businesses operate an <\/span><strong><span>embedded SFO<\/span><\/strong><span>, which often developed organically from the company.

Given the increasing demand, some hedge funds have abandoned their regular clients to specialize exclusively in managing the wealth of a few families. Limited SFOs often expand their service offerings, for example, to include legal or tax advisory, although these additional services remain optional.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"-Q4aO hw1z8 hD2az o-zp-\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-9ypx86003\"><span class=\"ATqq4 hD2az\"><span>Some SFOs advise not only a single family but an entire family clan.

These are structures in which advisors and service providers do not work exclusively for a single family but serve multiple families as clients. The main advantage of an MFO lies in lower costs and reduced responsibility for service providers, making it particularly attractive for families who do not (yet) wish to undertake the effort of an SFO.  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"-Q4aO hw1z8 hD2az o-zp-\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-2vnu010118\"><span class=\"ATqq4 hD2az\"><span>The classic MFO offers its services to several unrelated or (not necessarily) acquainted families. Depending on its size, the services offered, and the specific requirements of the families served, an MFO can work with a few wealthy families or manage a larger network. Some MFOs also operate as Virtual MFOs, where requested services are either provided internally or outsourced to external service providers such as banks.  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_5 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module blockquote\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span>Another advantage of an MFO is the ability to organize joint investments (so-called Club Deals) for the families it serves.
