Positioning

Complex wealth
requires coordination.

A family can simultaneously hold businesses, shareholdings, real estate, liquidity, financial investments and private equity — across several banks, lawyers, tax advisors and asset managers, and several family members. The problem stops being investment alone. It becomes coordination, consolidated view and decision-making. That is where GestInvest comes in.

What We Do

Six areas of
coordination.

Family Office Structuring

For families creating or formalising a family office — model, governance, functions, processes and reporting.

Family Capital Coordination

An integrated view across operating businesses, financial assets, real estate, private investments and liquidity.

Advisor Coordination

Independent coordination across private banks, asset managers, lawyers, tax advisors and trustees — one coherent strategy.

Investment Governance

Structure for investment decisions — policy, decision criteria, risk framework, approval process and reporting.

Ownership & Governance

The link between wealth and the family business — ownership structures, shareholder governance and succession.

Consolidated Strategic Reporting

A consolidated view of assets, liabilities, ownership, liquidity and major commitments, drawn from existing providers.

Family Office Models

Three levels of complexity.

Virtual Family Office

Coordination without building a dedicated organisation.

Single Family Office Support

Complementary advisory for families with an existing internal structure.

Family Office Build

For families setting out to create their own structure.

When a Family Office Becomes Relevant

Signs that coordination is overdue.

—A founder has completed a significant liquidity event

—Family assets are spread across several banks and advisors

—The family owns multiple operating businesses

—Investment decisions have become fragmented

—The next generation is entering the ownership structure

—Several jurisdictions are involved

—The family wants independent oversight of existing providers

—Wealth has become too complex to manage informally
