Drawing on real-world case studies, the foundation level facilitates the overall understanding of the types of family offices, their different functions, the legal and fiscal context in which they operate, as well as the means and tools that can help protect wealth for the long term. A significant part of the learning will seek to understand the human context of wealth owners: individuals, entrepreneurs and families.
This is the first of a 2 part course and is required prior to taking the Certificate for Family Office Advisors – Advanced programme.
The programme is tailored to industry practitioners who wish to have practical and in-depth understanding of family offices, globally and in the context of the Asian family landscape.
