What is a Multi-family Office?
Simply put, a family office serves the financial management needs of one family and a multi-family office serves multiple families. Vogel Consulting is a multi-family office that builds (single) family office teams within the firm. There is no one definition for a family office, and the scope of services offered throughout the industry varies greatly.
