FAMILY OFFICE

Family Office in Singapore

A family office is a private wealth management advisory firm that serves ultra-high-net-worth individuals (HNWI).

Family offices are different from traditional wealth management shops in that they offer a total solution to managing the financial and investment needs of an affluent individual or family.

For example, in addition to financial planning and investment management, many family offices offer budgeting, insurance, charitable giving, wealth transfer planning, tax services, and more.

Singapore is recognised as one of the most
progressive and influential cities in the world. It
offers a high standard of living, available goods
and services, security, an efficient transport
system, world-class education and health care,
political stability, a competitive tax regime and a low crime rate.

Singapore rolled out two regimes of tax exemption further enhance her status as global hub of family offices.
