What is a Multi-Family Office and How Finco Can Help

19/09/2024

As family wealth grows and becomes more complex, so do the financial, legal, succession, and administrative needs that accompany it. Such families and individuals often require more than traditional financial services; they require comprehensive, personalised solutions that address various challenges, from asset management to tax planning, governance, compliance, and back-office support. This is where the concept of a Multi-Family Office (MFO) becomes valuable.

What is a Multi-Family Office?

A Multi-Family Office (MFO) is a specialised financial advisory service tailored to meet the needs of families with varied business interests. Some individuals and families choose to have their own dedicated family office, referred to as a Single-Family Office. Unlike a Single-Family Office, an MFO delivers expert wealth management and administrative support to several clients. This allows clients to share costs and benefit from a larger pool of specialist resources while still receiving tailored solutions. The MFO acts as a dedicated team that ensures family wealth is preserved, enhanced, and smoothly transferred through generations.
