Family Office Services
A Family Office provides administrative, logistical and advisory support to families requiring assistance with their financial and business affairs.
Many Family Offices start small, usually in order to address a pressing wealth management need, and over time they can grow to accommodate other services the family requires to manage its affairs efficiently. The office with its administrative team can either be dedicated to the affairs of one family or a wide range of duties and responsibilities can be outsourced to specialist providers such as IPG.
