What We Do

We provide comprehensive management of all day-to-day family office operations, including corporate structuring, legal, tax planning and compliance, and the management of family interests including:

  • Property Development
    Real estate development is a central component of our strategy, with projects managed end-to-end from initial concept and planning through design, construction, and sale.

  • Operating Companies
    We own and actively manage a portfolio of operating businesses, supporting growth and operational excellence while delivering specialized products and services to global automotive and marine markets.

  • Public Market Investment Strategy
    We actively manage a diversified portfolio of publicly traded securities, applying a disciplined, research-driven approach focused on long-term capital appreciation and risk management.

What We Don’t Do

We do not manage third-party funds or provide external services or financial advice.

Leadership

Our leadership team has global experience across financial markets, real estate development, international trade, and multi-sector business operations.

With backgrounds spanning wealth management, public equity strategy, property development, brand licensing, marine services—plus leadership roles within regulated financial firms—the team applies a disciplined, research-driven perspective to all decisions.

This collective expertise supports the long-term, risk-aware approach we take when evaluating opportunities and guiding initiatives from strategy through execution.
