Expert breaks down family offices from @thealexbranford

The creator reacts to a tweet giving financial advice about starting a family office at a $35 million net worth, calling it the worst advice on the internet. He then breaks down the three primary ways to manage serious money: a private bank, a multi-family office, and a single family office (SFO). He explains that an SFO has high fixed costs of at least $1 million per year, and calculates that at a $35 million net worth, this fee represents an unsustainable 2.9% of assets. He contrasts this with the costs at a $100 million net worth, where the fee becomes a more reasonable 1%, making the SFO a competitive and justifiable option due to its benefits like privacy and control.

Transcript excerpt

I saw this tweet which really made me laugh. At 35,000,000, you have a financial team, a family office, and a corporate structure. I'm all of this stuff for a living, so let me show you why that number's completely wrong. So family office isn't just one thing. There's three ways to manage serious money. Option one is a private bank who give these sorts of services to people for a fixed fee of the assets under management. Option two is a multifamily office where multiple wealthy families all pull together and have one office work on behalf of all of them. And then option three, which what most people think about when they think family office worse what he's referring to in this interview, and that is a single family office where you have a dedicated finance and investment team that worse solely on behalf of that family. Now for that, the key thing is that there's a fixed cost. CIO, an analyst, an ops person, in house counsel, you need to have certain amount of assets under management that mean that the option of a private bank or multifamily office is dwarfed by you being able to in house it. That office worst the same as rank whether you've got 30,000,000 or 300,000,000. It's a fix
