Services & Expertise we provide


Wealth & Corporate Financial Advisory
Helping entrepreneurial clients structure their pitch, capital stack requirements, board member composition and business strategy to create a credible and compelling story forstakeholders.

Our Expertise

Corporate financing has undergone a sea change. The end of easy access to money. A move to higher interest rates and, capital scarcity. These combine to hamper entrepreneurial growth.
To secure capital and retain control, Founders and Entrepreneurs need to partner with Financial Advisers & Wealth Managers who can assist them in a number of areas including, creating a compelling story through professional pitchbook creation, corporate governance adjustments and ensuring board of directors’ composition is credible to investors & lenders.
Interviewing investors and lenders as opposed to being interviewed by them is the material change for owners. We support clients to take their financing pitch to the next level and ensure that they are choosing from a range of financing options and cost-effective approaches to retaining business control and governance.

Sustainable Finance & Impact Investing
When done well, screening of private investments, structuring fund management, governance and reporting ensures family’s objectives are always met.

Our Expertise

Sustainable finance and impact investing represents a unique opportunity to enhance returns and simultaneously have positive societal impact.

The successful investor needs to partners with national or local government, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and development finance institutions. To partner with and assure sustainable relationships the investor needs to understand the ‘capital stack’, suitable financial instruments and appropriate derisking tools.

We help clients develop bespoke strategic asset allocation and risk management frameworks that reflects each family’s impact investing objectives.

Partnering with the Next Generation
Evolve and reinvent Next Gen services to deliver unique products & services.
 

Our Expertise

Often, the Next Generation is served as a homogeneous group. Viewed through the prism of age and, or AUM. As such services are often uniform across the clients' advisers and wealth managers. For the Next Gen, personal goals matter and vary widely. They include assuming the role of family CIO, becoming a self-directed philanthropist, managing the family business, or becoming an entrepreneur. With this backdrop, a single uniform approach isn’t enough. Partnering with clients we help better segment and bring to bear full organisational capabilities; surface existing external relationships to deliver new services and convert the Next Generation into advocates and clients.

Family & Business Succession Planning
Successful transition to the next generation and ensuring ongoing family stewardship.

Our Expertise

Family-owned companies grow over many years and as such, their needs become more complex. Key succession questions include: is it appropriate to transfer leadership within the family? What should the company's future look like?  Should a solution outside the family be a consideration? Crucial factors for successful succession include not only business leadership but also family emotional support. We assist the family with end-to-end succession planning, candidate selection, and maintenance of family harmony to ensure a seamless transition to the next generation of leaders.

Family Purpose & Family Values
Preserving and sustaining wealth through the establishment of family purpose & values.

Our Expertise

Family values and purpose establish the principles family members live by. They lie at the heart of the family’s history and provide cross-generational and family cohesion. When missing the result can be a siloed approach to wealth preservation and management, undoing many years of hard work. With a methodology that ensures universal adoption, we help families craft their purpose and values and define what these mean to each family member.

Family Governance & Wealth Preservation
Four challenges, three questions, two crucial communication channels ensure wealth protection for generations to come.
 

Our Expertise

Where to begin when developing a family strategy is difficult. Who has the professional skills appropriate to good governance and can also manage the family process?

Applying the rule of three ensures ownership, adoption, and a lived framework that preserves family wealth. The first step is ‘fair process’. Developing the governance has to be managed in an open-minded and independent manner. Secondly, time. The process should not be limited to a specified duration. It takes each family as long as necessary to achieve excellence results together. Thirdly communication. The results should be recorded, shared with the family and key advisers, and has implemented through family assemblies, boards, and the appointments process.

With expertise in corporate governance, wealth management and facilitation, we partner with clients on this journey, helping them to design and implement change and the ongoing communication necessary to improve the chances of survival.
