Comprehensive Wealth Planning
Successful wealth solutions are the direct result of the clarity obtained through comprehensive wealth planning and management. I view Wealth Management as the highly personalized and strategic integration of financial planning and investment management; a fluid process that enables you to make well informed and thoughtful decisions reflecting the ever-changing circumstances of your life.
Family Governance
‘Family governance’, refers to the structures and processes families use to organise themselves and guide their relationship with their enterprise. When well-designed (and properly implemented), family governance can help set boundaries, create clarity, and result in greater harmony between family members, a more focused business, and easier transitions between generations. However, in order to be effective, family governance must reflect the particular culture, dynamic and objectives of the family in question.
Sustainable and Responsible Investing
Sustainable investing is about investing in progress, and recognizing that companies solving the world’s biggest challenges can be best positioned to grow. It is about pioneering better ways of doing business, and creating the momentum to encourage more and more people to opt in to the future we’re working to create.
Through the combination of traditional investment approaches with environmental, social and governance (ESG) insights, investors ranging from global institutions to individuals are taking a sustainable approach to pursuing their investment goals.

Investment Management
Investment management refers to the handling of financial assets and other investments—not only buying and selling them. Management includes devising a short- or long-term strategy for acquiring and disposing of portfolio holdings. It can also include banking, budgeting, and tax services and duties, as well.
Philanthropy Management
Philanthropy Management supports individuals, families, corporate and private foundations, and non-profit
organizations by offering a suite of services to help define and realize clients’ charitable missions
