The Family Office Today

May 4^th 2010

Mid Town Manhattan

Directed by:

Arthur A. Bavelas &

Russ Alan Prince

Today there are more then 750,000 individuals or families with a net-worth of US$20 million or more controlling an aggregate of US$97 trillion. More then ever, these wealthy individuals and families are considering either establishing their own family office or working with a multi-family office. There’s no question that the family office model is in great demand.

The complication is that most people don’t have a good grasp of the family office world. The term “family office” is thrown around so easily now-a-days that many people don’t have a very good idea of what differentiates a true well-functioning single- or multi-family office from all the wanna-bes.

Designed by the family office experts at The Bavelas Group and Prince & Associates, this workshop is designed for professionals in the family office universe – the executives at single and multi-family offices – as well as the wealthy themselves. Discussion, guided analysis and leading authorities in the field will make the session highly interactive and stimulating.

Who Should Attend?

·       Single-family offices wanting to benchmark themselves against their peers.

·       Multi-family offices wanting to understand the best practices being currently employed.

·       Affluent individuals looking to either set up their own family office or entrust their wealth to a multi-family office.

How you will benefit from the workshop

During this workshop, you will:

·       Understand the current state of the family office universe.

·       Develop an awareness of the two principal orientations of family offices – Wealth Creators and Wealth Preservers.

·       Understand the core and value-added services provided by family offices.
