Ultra-high-net-worth families require seamless integration of investment strategy, estate planning, tax planning, family governance, and succession planning. Traditionally, a single family office, led by a family office executive or family office CEO, provided this level of wealth management. However, with the cost of operating a single family office often exceeding $1 million annually, many are turning to multi family office or fractional family office models. At Select Advisors Institute, founder Amy Parvaneh serves in a fractional leadership role, helping ultra-high-net-worth families coordinate advisors, align strategies, and streamline decision-making. We do not manage investments, prepare tax returns, or provide legal services; our role is strictly coordination and consulting.
