Are you looking for a robust and tax-efficient way to manage intergenerational governance and succession planning?

Family investment companies, or family wealth companies, are companies which are established purely to manage the private wealth of a particular family. The shareholders of the company are family members, and the directors are usually also family members but may also include outside advisers.

A Family Investment Company can:
