The management of endowments is very similar to the management of financial wealth for a family as the requirements of independence and professionalism are the same. Thus, MdF Family Partners offers these services to those charities and non-profit organizations that have significant wealth. Some of these organizations have their own team of people and in this case the team at MdF becomes a support network for those concerned. Whereas other organizations don’t have their own team and they chose to delegate a large part of the activity to MdF Family Partners. Both alternatives are equally valid and in both cases the services that MdF provides are as follows:
Private Investment Office
- Develop a strategic wealth plan appropriate to the mission of each family or family branch
- Translating of the mission and “roadmap” of the family wealth to a tailored Investment Policy Statement (IPS) as either an IPS for each family member or each family branch
