The foundations for SFO were laid 25 years ago by the current principals. Our core service is to sustain legacy families. We understand that the preservation and stewardship of family wealth can be as demanding as its creation. Our focus is on both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the management of family wealth. Central to the SFO service is the development and implementation of bespoke systems of family governance. Such systems enable legacy families to determine unambiguous lines of command; improve communication, collaboration and family cohesion. The procedures and disciplines associated with good governance will create greater harmony between family members, foster rational decision making and ease the transition of wealth and power between generations. Our multi-disciplinary team combines expertise and global best practice in law, finance, investments, social sciences and business management, to help families reach their wealth objectives and prepare and implement succession and continuity arrangements. We pride ourselves in our ability to render best advice, sound administration and at all times be responsible citizens. Our service is long-term and high touch. Our average client tenure is longer than 20 years.
