Our team provides practical support for families, founders, investment professionals and private clients seeking to establish and maintain Singapore-based family office and VCC structures.

Family Office Set-Up Support

A family office may be used to organise and manage family wealth, investments, succession planning, philanthropy and long-term asset administration.

  • Registered office support

VCC structures should be considered carefully with the appropriate fund, tax, legal and regulatory advisers.
