Background on Family Offices
Family offices have existed since at least the 18th century. Their objective is to support high net worth individuals and families to manage their finances. In this capacity, family offices often encompass additional services such as financial, legal and tax advisory but are of help also in a variety of other services like family governance and other family internal affairs. They can assume the role of advisors and executors of many different issues. In today’s world, wealthy families are becoming more and more globally oriented and their dealings more and more complex. As a family office we can support such families by managing their wealth in many aspects such as the competence of a diverse team of experts, full time engagement of the team, alignment of interests and cost savings.

“All intelligent investing is value investing – acquiring more than you are paying for. You must value the business in order to value the stock.”

Tax Planning
Investments in different asset classes and jurisdictions requires a deep understanding of existing laws and regulations, including the main characteristics and rules of tax authorities in the customers’ country. Mistakes can easily lead to losses or a lower after-tax performance. Osiris possesses the expertise and connections to ensure that investment returns are kept tax efficient while being consistent with the customer’s investment objectives and risk profile.
