↑ 0%Farther launches multi-family office, setting a new standard for generational wealth management. * Farther has officially launched a dedicated multi-family office to provide specialized wealth management services for ultra-high-net-worth families. * The new offering integrates the firm's proprietary technology platform with bespoke advisory solutions to manage complex financial structures. * The multi-family office focuses on generational wealth transfer, estate planning, and sophisticated tax optimization strategies. * Families gain access to real-time reporting and visibility across diverse and illiquid asset classes through a centralized digital interface. * This expansion is designed to bridge the gap between traditional family office services and modern, tech-enabled wealth management. * Farther's approach incorporates philanthropic planning and family governance to ensure the long-term preservation of family legacies. * The launch follows a period of significant institutional growth and increasing demand for integrated, high-touch financial services. Knote: It's not exactly in its Family Office as-a-Service theme, but close. And if WealthTech Strategy Partners LLC know Farther, they are going to make extensive use of technology to create at least a semi-scaled product for the advisor.
Farther, a New York-based registered investment adviser, has launched a multi-family office division for ultra-high-net-worth families. The firm has hired Ben Seidenstein, former Goldman Sachs private wealth adviser who managed $1.5 billion in assets over 13 years, to lead the new unit as global head. The family office will have no minimum asset requirements, targeting entrepreneurs and builders who may experience large asset gains from liquidity events. Seidenstein said the division will differentiate itself through Farther's artificial intelligence-driven platform, avoiding the product allegiances that create conflicts at traditional institutions. Founded in 2019, Farther has grown to more than $15 billion in assets under management. The move follows similar family office launches by other large RIAs, including Summit Wealth Group and Wealthspire, capitalising on anticipated generational wealth transfers.
