Family Office

The meaning of the term “family office” is still largely undefined and can vary across a spectrum of activity. The Ardel Family Office, based in Geneva, is run by a small specialist team which looks after our largest and most complex private client relationships together with providing specialised Fiduciary services to other Family Offices.

It is a globally accepted fact that a family can accumulate significant assets and equally dissipate it within three generations! The overall objective of our family office it to ensure that family wealth is retained and enhanced for coming generations. This type of client requires a highly customised service with a significant level of personal attention.

We can work closely with the individual family and their advisers to ensure that their long term goals are achieved. Drawing upon our extensive network of third party advisers we assist ultra HNW families by administering key aspects of their financial affairs. Together with professionals from other specialist areas of expertise we assist with and co‑ordinate such activities as real estate management, trust and estate planning, tax mitigation, investment management and pension planning. We often act in effect as “manager of managers” and can either help to identify suitable third party advisers or equally work with the family’s own appointed contacts.
