FMO was originally designed for a large family office, the Portland House Group of Australia. Our clients include a number of family or multi family offices with assets under management of $50M to $1billion...

FMO is suitable for Single Family Offices, Multi-Family Offices and Ultra High Net Worth individuals. As is typical in Family Office environments, you may have any number of companies, partnerships, trusts, funds and other legal entities. Family members may have the choice to participate in these various vehicles based upon their individual goals and risk tolerance. FMO can manage the most complex ownership structures including a single investor participating in multiple legal entities. FMO can then generate a full set of both family-wide and family member financials. These financials span all investments in all legal entities, providing the family member with a complete picture of their full Net Worth and Exposure reports.
