family office deal flow

Richard C. Wilson's Webinar where he explains Investment Structures and strategies. Useful information for both capital raisers and investors alike. 

Discussion panel from our 2019 Family Office Super Summit in Miami, FL

Richard C. Wilson explains what he calls wealth shrapnel. Basically, you know what is negative about being ultrawealthy? A lot of people see ultrawealthy as someone who has a private jet, has many houses, and more money than they know what to do with. Perhaps, is making investments all the time. But I don't see all the negative things that come with it. You know, I have one client who's worth several $100 million who has been blackmailed 12 times. I have people that are clients who are threatened by employees. That if they don't do something like give them a big severance or agree to something in a settlement that them and three others will claim that that person did something to them and ruin the reputation,  essentially. People who are ultrawealthy are typically the ones who are sued the most. The regulators come after them. They're on everybody's radar. If you're in some countries, it's whose assets get confiscated or who has new laws created, to basically take away their assets or take away their market share. Many times, it's the ultra-wealthy who are targeted for kind of silly lawsuits over slip and falls, and it happens much more often than most people probably know about. 

We have 58 current clients. Who altogether are worth well over a $1 Billion. We advise on a couple of 100 million of the portions of their assets related to direct investments. I have been making big progress on virtual family office infrastructure, lately. Helping with getting a family office, quality CFO and all the accounting infrastructure. It needs to go in a place and having that be kind of plug and play ready for clients.  Also having the direct investment components. Helping them with a strategy on that, figuring out when they start their family office, what their strike zone should be or I formalize it. What direct investments should they be doing in-house versus outsourcing to a best in class provider? Then on top of that, figuring out who should be doing the traditional wealth management private banking work. We don't do that component internally, but we now have agreements signed in place with several wealth advisors and multi-family offices who, depending on your location, or whether you're a dentist, or a doctor or a business owner caters to your needs and industry.

Richard Wilson of the Family Office Club and Centimillionaire Advisors gives a Q1 check-in for 2020 and just share how things are going. It would be interesting to look back at this may be in one year, five years, 10 years and to share the progress made. With making $5 million in revenue in 2019, a 13-person team on Key Biscayne with a couple of team members in the Philippines, as well as one in Portugal and one in Oregon. Richard goes through the event space that hosted 25 events last year and the obstacles of attempting 30 live events this year with the current COVID-19 situation. How the situation has also pushed toward the adaptation of how to add value to charter members, investors and the deal flow channels that brings them together.  One of the solutions is the podcast, webinar and virtual panel discussions that are now being offered to members and insights given to non-members of the Family Office Club.
