Wealth, Legacy and Family in Harmony—Protecting What Matters Most with Trust and Discretion

Our MGD Private Wealth and Family Office services are designed for families seeking an elite level of personal and financial privacy, coupled with an integrated and bespoke solution to steward wealth through generations, ensure business continuity, preserve family harmony, and leave a lasting legacy.

Like you, we are a success story in what we do and are like-minded in our drive to be the best we can be, for you.

  • The first step in our process is understanding your family enterprise—your wealth, your values, and your vision for the future. Through meticulous due diligence, we examine all aspects of your family’s wealth and its intricate dynamics. This deep understanding forms the bedrock upon which we craft a tailored governance framework to guide your family’s future.

    • Holistic Understanding of Your Family Enterprise: We take the time to understand the full scope of your family’s wealth, ensuring that both financial and familial considerations are integrated into the governance strategy.

    • Clear Path Forward: With this insight, we develop a clear roadmap that supports both your immediate goals and the long-term continuity of your family’s wealth, creating a foundation for future generations.

  • Your family’s success story is at the heart of our approach. As your fiduciary, MGD Private provides informed, impartial advice designed to ensure your wealth and legacy endure. We take a forward-thinking approach to family governance, offering solutions that not only support your family’s values today but ensure a robust structure for future generations.

    • Your Legacy, Your Values: We align our strategies with your values and vision for the future, ensuring that your wealth reflects what matters most to you and your family.

    • Enduring Wealth: Our governance framework is designed with long-term sustainability in mind, helping you navigate the complexities of intergenerational wealth transfer and creating a legacy that lasts.

  • To build a sustainable and enduring family enterprise, it is essential to establish a governance framework that aligns stakeholders and manages complexities. At MGD Private, we help you construct a governance model that ensures smooth succession, preserves family cohesion, and enhances the functionality of your wealth across generations.

    • Optimising Family Dynamics: We recognise that families are dynamic and complex, and aligning every member may not always be possible. However, we provide a structured approach that creates an inclusive environment, where every voice is heard and considered, ensuring smooth governance and decision-making.

    • Wealth Transfer and Legacy: We help you clarify your intergenerational wealth transfer goals. Whether your aim is to leave a legacy or simply pass on the leftovers, we work with you to ensure that your wealth is preserved and passed on in a meaningful way.

  • We know that intergenerational wealth transfer is one of the most complex challenges for affluent families. Families are often faced with the question of how to ensure that their wealth not only survives but thrives across generations. At MGD Private, we help you navigate this challenge with a comprehensive plan that accounts for both the technical and emotional aspects of wealth transfer.

    • Family Values & Tradition: We begin by discussing your family’s values and history, developing an understanding of how your wealth was generated and what matters most to your family.

    • Building a Family Tradition: We help you turn your success into a lasting family tradition, ensuring that both the privileges and responsibilities of your wealth are passed on to future generations.

    • Ensuring Cohesion: Open communication is key to successful wealth transfer. Our structured approach fosters open dialogue and helps manage family dynamics, creating an environment of inclusion and transparency.

    • Wealth Preservation: We also address the practical aspects of wealth transfer, considering your business, investments, philanthropic goals, and the role of a centralised family office to ensure that wealth continues to grow and thrive as your family expands.

  • At MGD Private, we understand that your family enterprise is more than just financial jargon. It’s about understanding the complex puzzle of your wealth and its many moving parts—your assets, your family, and your values. Our goal is to help you see the bigger picture and ensure that every piece of the puzzle is in place, both today and for the future.

    • Holistic Wealth Management: Your family enterprise includes not just your wealth but also your family members—your children, spouse, and partner. Our framework helps you see the entire picture, ensuring that every piece of the puzzle works together harmoniously.

    • Understanding the Gaps: Through our governance framework, we identify and address the missing pieces, ensuring that your family and wealth are aligned, creating a solid foundation for enduring success.
