Family Office Services
FFO provides family office services that are designed to help families coordinate their multiple forms of capital
using a holistic and collaborative team approach combining the many elements inherent to a successful life with
wealth. Our collective experiences support our belief that a dedicated team of independent and objective
professionals working in collaboration with each other in partnership with the family is the best way to serve
families of significant wealth. Such a relationship enhances FFO’s ability to advise families on the opportunities
and risks that their wealth presents, allowing families to make better, educated decisions.
Initially, FFO meets with the prospective client to obtain information about their overall situation. This
information is used to assist FFO in understanding a client’s needs and the scope of services that are most
appropriate for the client’s situation. The family office services FFO will provide will be specifically described in
the Family Office Services Agreement you enter into with our firm. Additional services beyond the scope of the
Family Office Services Agreement may be provided under separate agreement(s) and may include a separate fee
as mutually agreed to by FFO and the client.
Our family office services vary by family and occasionally within families, but may include the following:
• Portfolio Management Services – Includes development of asset allocation, ongoing portfolio
management, and review, including selection and evaluation of investment managers. Further, we may
provide customized performance reporting at the portfolio level and at the manager or specific
investment level. Additional information about our portfolio management services is provided in the
portfolio management services section below.
• Information Management and Coordination – We organize key information and the coordinate such
information with the family, the family’s accountant, attorney, insurance agents, and other key advisors.
• Estate, Gift & Trust Planning – We provide explanations, summaries, and illustrations of existing and
proposed estate planning documents and strategies, including recommendations and education on
additional strategies, considerations for making updates periodically and further coordination with
family’s tax and legal advisor(s) to implement agreed upon strategies or updates.

choose to benefit.
• Education – Includes both individual and group-based learning sessions around various planning, tax,
investment and other topics with an intention of growing not only the family’s financial capital, but non-
financial capital as well. These topics while commonly focused on younger generations are generally
available across all generations.
• Family Meetings – Includes facilitation of family meetings often across multiple generations around
shared ownership, philanthropy, decision making or shared goals and objectives.
• Assistance with Trust Administration – Includes advice around trustee selection and ongoing guidance,
general understanding of trust purposes and provisions. Often, this involves education for grantors,

• Consolidated Reporting Services – Allows the family to customize how their assets are reported by
offering a view across multiple accounts or entities in a single statement and/or to segregate assets
within accounts. This service may include assets not generally managed by FFO such as closely-held
private family assets. This enables the family and their advisors to understand and monitor the total
family balance sheet and provide comprehensive and integrated advice from a vantage point inclusive
of the family’s entire wealth landscape. This may require an additional fee depending on the nature and
complexity of the non-managed assets being reported on. Any additional fees will be mutually agreed
to in advance.
• Asset Protection Planning and Review – Includes review and discussion of strategies that may avoid or
minimize a portion of a family’s balance sheet at risk. These strategies will be evaluated on the benefits
they may provide against the degree and likelihood of loss and the complexity and administration they
may require to achieve such protections.

strategies including the use of special purpose entities, trusts and/or various insurance tools. We will
review the family’s assets and liabilities to determine: location, titling and ownership structure. We will

unaffiliated third-party professionals.

determination of potential liquidity sources including asset liquidations and life insurance. We will review

unaffiliated third-party professionals.
The advice we propose is designed to achieve the client’s desired goals which may require revision to meet
changing circumstances. Our recommendations are based on your situation from the information provided to the
firm. Families may choose to accept or reject our recommendations. We should be notified promptly of any
change to your situation, goals, objectives, or needs.
Portfolio Management Services
Our firm offers
discretionary portfolio management services to our clients. Discretionary portfolio management
means we will make investment decisions and place buy or sell orders in your account without contacting you.
These decisions would be made based upon your stated investment objectives, which will be documented in a
written Investment Policy Statement. If you wish, you may limit our discretionary authority by, for example,
setting a limit on the type of securities that can be purchased for your account. Simply provide us with your
restrictions or guidelines in writing.
Our investment advice is tailored to meet our clients’ needs and investment objectives. If you decide to hire our
firm to manage your portfolio, we will meet with you to gather your financial information, determine your goals,
and help you decide how to allocate your investments. The information we gather will help us implement an asset
allocation strategy that will be specific to your goals, whether we are actively investing for you or simply providing
you with advice.
FFO does not specialize in specific types of securities. We can advise clients on various types of securities, such as
exchange listed equities, over the counter equities, foreign issues, American depository receipts, corporate debt
securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, municipal securities, investment company securities
(including mutual funds and exchange traded funds), US Government securities, options contracts on securities
and/or commodities, private equity instruments, and interests in partnership investing in real estate.
Additionally, will provide advice on existing investments you may hold at the inception of the advisory relationship
or on other types of investments for which you ask advice.
If you engage us for portfolio management services, we will monitor your portfolio’s performance on a continuous
basis, and rebalance the portfolio whenever necessary, as changes occur in market conditions and/or your
financial circumstances, as guided by your Investment Policy Statement.
Recommendation of Sub Advisors
As part of our overall portfolio management strategy, we may recommend sub advisers to manage all or a portion
of your account. All sub advisers recommended by our firm must either be registered as investment advisers or
exempt from registration requirements. These sub advisers may specialize in traditional or alternative
investments. Factors that we take into consideration when making our recommendations include, but are not
limited to, the following: the sub adviser’s performance, methods of analysis, fees, your financial needs,
investment goals, risk tolerance, and investment objectives. Once a sub advisory account has been established,
we will provide all administrative and clerical duties that are required to service your account. The sub adviser
will have little or no direct contact with you. Our responsibility to you will be to: (i) continuously evaluate the
performance of your portfolio to ensure the sub adviser selected adheres to your asset allocation guidelines; (ii)
make recommendations regarding the sub adviser as market factors and your personal goals dictate, (iii) assume
discretionary authority to hire or fire the sub adviser where such action is deemed to be in your best interest.
Selection of Third Party Investment Advisers
FFO has entered into agreements with various third party investment advisers for the provision of certain
investment advisory services. Factors considered in the selection of a third party advisor include but may not be
limited to: i) FFO’s preference for a particular third party advisor; ii) the client’s risk tolerance, goals and
objectives, as well as investment experience; and, iii) the amount of client assets available for investment. In order
to assist clients in the selection of a third party advisor, an Associated Person of FFO will typically gather
information from the client about the client’s financial situation, investment objectives, and reasonable
restrictions the client wants imposed on the management of the account.
The third party advisor may customize the client's portfolio by blending traditional investment strategies with an
allocation to asset classes. The investment strategy adopted by the third party advisor may embrace value,
growth, or contrarian investing styles. Generally, securities transactions will be decided upon and executed by the
third party advisor on a discretionary basis. This means that the manager selected will have the ability to buy and
sell securities in your account without obtaining your approval. FFO and its Associated Persons will not manage,
or obtain discretionary authority over the assets in accounts participating in these programs; however, clients
may grant FFO the discretionary authority to hire and fire such third party managers. Generally, clients may not
impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities in accounts managed by a third party
advisor.
Associated Persons of FFO will periodically review reports provided to the client. An Associated Person of FFO will
contact the client at least annually, or more often as agreed upon with each client, to review the client’s financial
situation and objectives, communicate information to the third party advisor managing the account as necessary,
and to assist the client in understanding and evaluating the services provided by the third party advisor. Clients
will be expected to notify FFO of any changes in their financial situation, investment objectives, or account
restrictions.
The third party advisor may offer wrapped or non-wrapped pricing options. Wrap pricing structures allow the
client to pay an all-inclusive fee for management, brokerage, clearance, custody, and administrative services. In
a non-wrap pricing structure, the third party advisor’s fee may be separated from the advisory fee charged by
FFO. Transaction costs may also be charged for the execution and clearance of advisory transactions directed by
such Third Party Advisory Services. A complete description of the programs and services provided, the amount of
total fees, the payment structure, termination provisions and other aspects of each program are detailed and
disclosed in: i) the third party advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A; ii) the program wrap brochure (if applicable) or other
applicable disclosure documents; iii) the disclosure documents of the portfolio manager(s) selected; or, iv) the
third party advisor’s account opening documents. A copy of all relevant disclosure documents of the third party
advisor and of the individual portfolio manager(s) will be provided to anyone interested in these
programs/managers.
Wrap Fee Programs
We do not sponsor, manage, or participate in any wrap fee programs.
