The 5-Step Plan to Create your Single-Family Office: A step-by-step guide to create a resilient international family office in a World of VUCA, using ... Office Setup and Management, Band 2) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book is a practical, battle-tested guide for ultra‑high‑net‑worth families and advisors who must design resilient, compliant, and cost‑efficient single‑family offices in a volatile world. Drawing on real-world experience across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, The 5-Step Plan to Create your Single‑Family Office lays out a clear, repeatable methodology to turn family values into an operational, multi‑jurisdictional SFO that survives geopolitical shocks, regulatory change, and generational transition.

This book explains the why, what, and how of building a modern SFO: from founding a Family Council and writing a Family Constitution to selecting jurisdictions, legal vehicles, operational models, technology, and talent. It compares seven leading hubs—London, Luxembourg, Zurich, Dubai, Mauritius, Singapore, and Hong Kong—against the practical needs of an emerging‑market family with a $500M AUM profile. It introduces a “hub‑and‑spoke” architecture and a novel Denial‑of‑Service (DoS) framework that treats de‑banking and service withdrawal as existential operational risks to be managed proactively.
