Great article Frederick. Working for a family business business is like trying to carry a cat by the tail.... it is a unique experience. 😑

If you don't know where you are going , any road will take you there. Is a family office a vehicle for more efficient and/or broader passive investment? Will it be entrepreneurial? Is it based around a central business to which a majority of the family is committed or is it an investment channel for a group of linked by familial bonds and/or shared values ? Is it big enough and does it have a diversified client base and professional management that it ultimately transcends its founding family?

This isn't just an investment issue . It is a question of the continuing appropriateness of a consolidated vehicle.
