Outsourced CIO & Investment Governance
Our private office represents the most complete expression of our philosophy: Wealth and Legacy in Motion.
Designed for families whose wealth, structures and responsibilities require deeper coordination and leadership. We act as a single, accountable partner, integrating disciplined investment governance with broader family, structural and decision-making considerations.
Overview

Business sales, IPOs, inheritances or significant asset realisations requiring structured reinvestment and governance.
Multi-entity structural complexity
Trusts, companies and philanthropic vehicles requiring consolidated oversight and coordinated reporting.
Significant private markets exposure
Private equity, credit or real asset holdings requiring institutional due diligence and disciplined monitoring.
Outsourced CIO requirements
Formal investment policy, documented decisions and structured committee oversight.
Intergenerational wealth transfer in motion
Succession planning supported by aligned governance and shared family understanding.
Family governance formalisation
Defined decision rights, meeting structures and sustainable governance frameworks.
Following a business sale, a family's wealth shifted from a single operating asset into realised capital that now had to be governed across multiple entities and generations. With it came a set of decisions their existing arrangements were not built to handle: how much liquidity and risk to carry, and how to bring together the accountants, lawyers and investment advisers who had each been working to their own brief. What they lacked was not advice but a way to decide coherently.
We established a single governance framework to sit above the detail: clear objectives, defined liquidity and risk parameters, and an agreed basis for how decisions would be made and by whom. Good governance let the family weigh each choice against their longer-term intentions rather than in isolation. We then coordinated the wider adviser group so everyone worked from shared context, with each recommendation implemented in line with the family's own decisions.
What changed:
Within around six months, fragmented advice had been replaced by a unified governance model. Decision fatigue eased, advisers worked from a common view, and the family gained confidence in preserving and growing the wealth the sale had realised.
Illustrative composite. Details have been changed to protect client confidentiality.
Guidance for ownership and leadership transitions across trusts, operating entities and family governance forums; aligning roles, responsibilities and structures with a unified intent for the future.
Development of philanthropy programs and coordination of charitable structures or impact investments, with specialist execution to ensure giving is effective and aligned with clear family values.
Designed to support families at critical decision points, including meeting facilitation for complex discussions or conflict de-escalation, to help the family move forward with clarity and mutual respect.
If your family requires structured oversight across investments, governance and decision-making, we encourage you to book a confidential Private Office consultation with one of our partners.
