This book is a practical, battle-tested guide for ultra‑high‑net‑worth families and advisors who must design resilient, compliant, and cost‑efficient single‑family offices in a volatile world. Drawing on real-world experience across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa,

This book explains the why, what, and how of building a modern SFO: from founding a Family Council and writing a Family Constitution to selecting jurisdictions, legal vehicles, operational models, technology, and talent. It compares seven leading hubs against the needs of an emerging‑market family. It introduces a “hub‑and‑spoke” architecture and a novel Denial‑of‑Service (DoS) framework and existential operational risks to be managed proactively.

Key features:
- Step‑by‑step 5‑Step Plan: Family alignment; scope and strategy; jurisdiction and structure selection; implementation; governance and continuous review.
- Jurisdictional analysis: Direct comparisons of seven markets.
- Operational model: Practical in‑house vs outsourced mappings.
- Risk & resilience: The DoS framework, outward‑compliance playbook, BCP activation triggers, and multi‑bank diversification strategies.
- Investment economics: Focus on Total Expense Ratio (TER) management, fund vehicle choices (VCC, OFC, ICC), and practical ideas to control private markets fees.
- Governance tools: Templates for Family Charters, Family Council roles, Investment Committee design, and executive job descriptions.

Who should read this book:
- Founders and principals planning a family office or formalising existing informal arrangements.
- Family office executives and aspiring SFO leaders who need a pragmatic operational blueprint.
- Wealth advisers, trustees, lawyers, and private bankers advising families with cross‑border exposures.
- Next‑generation family members seeking a structured education on stewardship, governance, and impact investing. Voir moins

The asset management sector is technical, quantitative, polinodal and international; it is poorly understood in legal circles. The legal liability of fund managers is rarely successfully sought by investors or organisations that represent them. Yet the sector is facing a paradigm shift towards its climate responsibilities. The purpose of this brief is to outline an effective strategy to seek the climate liability of fund managers.

Résumé
Le domaine de la gestion collective, domaine technique, quantitatif, polinodal et international est mal appréhendé en droit. La responsabilité juridique des gérants de fonds est rarement engagée avec succès par les investisseurs et les associations qui les représentent. Pourtant le secteur fait face à un changement de paradigme qui le met face à ses responsabilités climatiques. Ce mémoire a pour objet de dessiner les contours d’une stratégie effective d’engagement de la responsabilité climatique des gérants de fonds. Voir moins
