A third-generation family with diverse, global assets faced fragmentation and a lack of an aligned vision. Their legacy was at risk due to inter-generational friction and disparate investment strategies. The firm stepped in to create a solution that not only consolidated their assets but also unified the family's purpose.
An Asian family with a successful manufacturing business had expanded into private equity and real estate globally. The senior generation was nearing retirement, and the younger generation had different priorities, including a strong desire for ESG and philanthropic investments. Assets were fragmented across jurisdictions, and the family governance was informal, leading to potential conflict and inefficiency.
The firm first facilitated a series of workshops to draft a comprehensive Family Charter, aligning the family's values with its financial and philanthropic goals. The firm then structured a new SFO in Singapore to consolidate their assets under a single, efficient entity. The firm also assisted with the selection and hiring of key personnel, including a Chief Investment Officer (CIO) and a Compliance Manager, to oversee the new structure. Finally, the firm helped them establish a dedicated donor-advised fund to channel their philanthropic giving to local and regional causes.
The family successfully transitioned leadership to the third generation with a clear, unified vision. Their SFO now operates with full transparency and a clear governance structure, allowing them to pursue new investment opportunities in line with their values while safeguarding their core legacy for future generations.
"We had been struggling for years to consolidate our global assets and create a succession plan. The process seemed daunting. Our team didn't just manage the setup; they restored our peace of mind and brought our family's vision to life."
"Their expertise in navigating Singapore's tax incentives was invaluable. What would have been a long, complicated process was made seamless and efficient. They saved us significant time and resources."
"We had an aggressive timeline for setting up our family office, and their team was instrumental in meeting every deadline. Their professionalism and attention to detail were simply exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend them."
An SFO is a private entity established to manage the financial, investment, and lifestyle interests of a single ultra-high-net-worth family. It provides a high level of control and confidentiality, distinguishing it from multi-family offices which serve multiple families.
Singapore offers a unique combination of political stability, a robust and transparent legal framework, a favorable tax regime, and a strong ecosystem of professional talent and government support.
Generally, SFOs that manage only the assets of a single family are exempt from the requirement to hold a fund management license from the MAS, provided they meet specific criteria.
The primary benefits are tax exemptions on specified investment income under the Section 13O and 13U schemes. Singapore also has no capital gains tax and a broad network of double taxation treaties.
To qualify for the Section 13O Onshore Fund Tax Exemption Scheme, the minimum Assets Under Management (AUM) is S$20 million. The Enhanced-Tier Fund Tax Exemption Scheme (13U) requires a minimum of S$50 million.
Both schemes require a minimum number of investment professionals and a tiered local business spending requirement to qualify for the tax exemptions.
A typical structure involves a Private Limited Company (PLC) as the SFO entity and a separate fund vehicle to hold the assets. Trusts can also be leveraged for succession planning purposes.
A Family Charter is a foundational document that outlines the family's shared values, vision, and long-term objectives for the family office, ensuring alignment across generations and serving as a key governance tool.
Key roles for an SFO team include a Chief Investment Officer (CIO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Legal Counsel, and a Compliance Manager. The firm can assist in identifying and recruiting the right talent.
This refers to structures that combine public, private, and philanthropic capital for sustainable development, a growing trend supported by the Singapore government through initiatives that encourage local investments and ESG-aligned projects.
Yes, SFOs can be eligible for the Philanthropy Tax Incentive Scheme (PTIS), which offers tax deductions for overseas donations made through approved local intermediaries and is designed to support greater giving in the region.
Yes, Singapore offers several pathways, including the Global Investor Programme (GIP) which can grant Permanent Resident (PR) status to eligible global investors. The Overseas Networks & Expertise Pass (ONE Pass) is another option for top talent to live and work in Singapore.
