Paperback. This book is a practical, battle-tested guide for ultra-high-net-worth families and advisors who must design resilient, compliant, and cost-efficient single-family offices in a volatile world. Drawing on real-world experience across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, The 5-Step Plan to Create your Single-Family Office lays out a clear, repeatable methodology to turn family values into an operational, multi-jurisdictional SFO that survives geopolitical shocks, regulatory change, and generational transition. This book explains the why, what, and how of building a modern SFO: from founding a Family Council and writing a Family Constitution to selecting jurisdictions, legal vehicles, operational models, technology, and talent. It compares seven leading hubs-London, Luxembourg, Zurich, Dubai, Mauritius, Singapore, and Hong Kong-against the practical needs of an emerging-market family with a $500M AUM profile. It introduces a "hub-and-spoke" architecture and a novel Denial-of-Service (DoS) framework that treats de-banking and service withdrawal as existential operational risks to be managed proactively. Key featuresStep-by-step 5-Step Plan: Family alignment; scope and strategy; jurisdiction and structure selection; implementation; governance and continuous review.Jurisdictional analysis: Direct comparisons of legal, tax, substance, residency, litigation, and lifestyle factors across seven markets.Operational model: Practical in-house vs outsourced mappings, an 8-headcount case study, and a detailed cost benchmark.Risk & resilience: The DoS framework, outward-compliance playbook, BCP activation triggers, and multi-bank diversification strategies.Investment economics: Focus on Total Expense Ratio (TER) management, fund vehicle choices (VCC, OFC, ICC), and practical ideas to control private markets fees.Governance tools: Templates for Family Charters, Family Council roles, Investment Committee design, and executive job descriptions.Who should read this bookFounders and principals planning a family office or formalising existing informal arrangements.Family office executives and aspiring SFO leaders who need a pragmatic operational blueprint.Wealth advisers, trustees, lawyers, and private bankers advising families with cross-border exposures.Next-generation family members seeking a structured education on stewardship, governance, and impact investing.What you will getA concrete, implementable roadmap that turns family values into legally robust and operationally resilient structures.A comparative playbook to choose the right hubs, vehicle types, and staffing mix for your family's priorities.Checklists, cost benchmarks, and job descriptions you can use immediately in planning and hiring.Start building a family office designed to endure.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
