Timothy Lappen, center, makes a point during the discussion about family-office alternatives. Listening are Thomas Livergood, left, and Andrew Hauptman.
Many private families have heard about "family offices," but even those who are familiar with the concept often are not fully aware of the range of choices available to them. The critical question no longer is whether they should have a stand-alone family office or be part of a multifamily office, because there are a greater range of alternatives available to private families today. What family-office services should be handled in-house and which are better outsourced? The complex and opaque nature of the market for family-office services makes it difficult to evaluate these alternatives. Our panel of family-office experts will shed light on this fragmented and fast-changing business by revealing how successful private families have prioritized their needs and then found the best alternative for family-office services to best meet their needs.
