In recent years, wealthy families across Asia have been increasingly drawn to multi-family office (MFO) structures. These offer a cost-efficient alternative to single-family offices while providing high-quality investment, legal, and succession planning services.
MFOs allow several families to share infrastructure and advisory resources, which is particularly appealing to first-generation entrepreneurs and tech founders. Unlike private banks, MFOs tend to provide more unbiased advice and customized asset management solutions.
Singapore and Hong Kong have become major hubs for MFOs due to regulatory flexibility and a concentration of financial talent. As wealth continues to transition to the next generation, demand for these structures is expected to rise.
FAQs:
Q: Why are MFOs becoming popular in Asia?
