the family office

What’s a family office?

First of all what’s a ‘Family Office’ and how does it benefit clients? Well according to the explanation by Investopedia (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/family-offices.asp) a family office is:

Family offices are private wealth management advisory firms that serve ultra-high-net-worth investors. They are different from traditional wealth management shops in that they offer a total outsourced solution to managing the financial and investment side of an affluent individual or family. For example, many family offices offer budgeting, insurance, charitable giving, family-owned businesses, wealth transfer and tax services.

The Many Disciplines of a ‘Family Office’

Providing the advice and services for ultra-wealthy families under a comprehensive wealth management plan is far beyond the capacity of any one professional advisor. It requires a well-coordinated, collaborative effort by a team of professionals from the legal, insurance, investment, estate, business and tax disciplines to provide the scale of planning, advice and resources needed. Most family offices combine asset management, cash management, risk management, financial planning, lifestyle management and other services to provide each family with the essential elements for addressing the pivotal issues it faces as it navigates the complex world of wealth management.

So from this we had the ambition to create this holistic all encompassing service that allowed clients to get the best advice across financial planning, law and tax.

This ambition turned into Celtic Connects.
