Family Office Services
Why Choose Family Office Services?
The current wealth management industry is filled with tactical providers, from brokerage firms, insurance agencies, and investment managers, to banks and online ‘robo-advisors’, each with different motivations and resources.
Individually, they deliver fragmented and often incomplete service with very little integration, placing the responsibility of aligning short-term and long-term planning on the individual or family.
Current Issues in the Wealth Management Industry
Many families of wealth have experienced difficulties in clearly defining and attaining the long-term wealth sustainability goals of the family. Recent research suggests these shortcomings can be attributed to the many roadblocks associated with the traditional, fragmented wealth management industry. Examples of these roadblocks include:
- Provider goals not aligned with the family goals.
- Lack of cost control.
- Heavy client to advisor loads.
- Chasing returns with a short-term view.
- Narrow scope of services.
- Strategic complexity.
- Service level inadequacies and operational inefficiency.
- Limited recognition of risks.
- Lack of effective coordination.
The types of services that we offer are designed to focus on long-term planning for wealth sustainability and can help address these shortcomings, but can typically be prohibitively expensive for all but the wealthiest families.
We have designed Quartz Financial to overcome this barrier.
