Affluent families with international wealth structures often require dedicated support to manage their assets, entities, and advisors. While a Single-Family Office (SFO) offers full control, it demands significant investment in infrastructure, staffing, and ongoing management.
Zetland provides a practical alternative through its Multi-Family Office (MFO) platform, primarily based in Hong Kong, with additional support available in Dubai. We assist families in setting up and operating their MFOs, providing access to professional expertise and operational systems without the cost and complexity of building an in-house team.
Zetland’s Multi-Family Office services include coordination with each family's existing advisors, such as custodians, investment managers, and legal and tax professionals alongside the administration of companies, trusts, and foundations. We provide consolidated reporting and governance oversight, all within a modular framework that allows families to select the specific services they need, ensuring a tailored and efficient solution. We also provide strategic coordination, acting as a central point of contact for tasks such as liaising with investment managers on portfolio updates, coordinating with legal advisors on trust structuring, and working with tax professionals on cross-border compliance matters. This integrated approach ensures efficient management and oversight of the family's wealth.
Zetland’s Multi-Family Office service, operated from our hubs in Hong Kong and the UAE, is built around five core pillars: Governance, Operations, Consolidation, Coordination, and Continuity. In Hong Kong, we typically serve families with long-standing international structures, often involving offshore companies, Hong Kong trusts, and cross-border investments. These families require strong governance frameworks, consolidated reporting across multiple jurisdictions and currencies, and coordination with global legal and tax advisors. Their needs often centre on maintaining compliance, managing legacy structures, and ensuring efficient administration across complex holdings.
In the UAE, we support families who are relocating to the UAE or expanding their presence in the region. These clients often seek assistance with establishing UAE foundations, managing local banking and payments, and aligning their succession planning with regional legal frameworks. Operational support is a key focus, including day-to-day financial administration and document control. Across both locations, Zetland provides tailored, professionalised services to help families manage their wealth with clarity, control, and long-term continuity.
Zetland Fiduciary Group operates a global network of offices to support clients across key international financial hubs. Whether you are seeking guidance on company formation, trust administration, accounting, or cross-border transactions, our local experts in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, and London are ready to assist.
