Structure, Stewardship, and Strategic Partnership for Generational Wealth
At Banfield Capital, we support families who require coordinated management of complex wealth, multi-jurisdictional assets, and long-term governance structures. Many of our clients operate their own family offices or maintain informal family governance arrangements, and they rely on our expertise to bring organization, strategy, and clarity to their financial world.
A family office, at its core, is a dedicated platform that manages the financial, administrative, and planning needs of a family. This can include investment oversight, cash flow management, risk assessment, wealth transfer planning, philanthropic coordination, and support for future generations. Whether the office is formal or informal, its purpose is consistent: to preserve and grow family wealth, uphold family values, and maintain structure across generations.
Banfield Capital serves as a trusted partner to these families, providing specialized support, independent insight, and disciplined oversight.
Families choose our Family Office Support for:
Strategic investment coordination across public and private assets.
Comprehensive reporting and portfolio oversight across multiple accounts and jurisdictions.
Succession, estate, and governance planning to support multi-generational continuity.
Philanthropic and foundation advisory services aligned with family values.
Risk management, liquidity planning, and cross-border expertise.
Our goal is to work alongside the family office, not replace it, and support its mission with a clear and structured approach.
What a Family Office Does
Family offices vary widely in design, but most focus on a core set of responsibilities. These include:
- Managing wealth across generations.
- Overseeing investments and coordinating with outside managers.
- Supporting estate planning and intergenerational transfers.
- Centralizing tax, legal, and administrative functions.
- Coordinating philanthropic activities.
- Educating the next generation about financial stewardship.
A family office may involve a dedicated staff, outsourced partners, or a combination of both. Regardless of structure, the purpose remains the same: to create a stable framework that supports the family today and prepares for tomorrow.
Banfield Capital provides the investment and planning expertise that strengthens this structure and brings coherence to the family’s long-term financial strategies.
How Banfield Capital Supports Family Offices
Investment Coordination and Oversight
We provide independent guidance on asset allocation, manager selection, and portfolio structure. Our team aggregates account information, analyzes overall risk exposure, and creates a clear understanding of how all investments work together.
Consolidated Reporting and Transparency
Family wealth often spans multiple custodians, currencies, and jurisdictions. We organize, simplify, and report on these holdings, creating a unified view of the family’s financial position. This improves decision-making and aligns family members around shared goals.
Succession, Estate, and Governance Planning
The continuity of family wealth depends on clear planning and transparent governance. We coordinate with attorneys, tax specialists, and trustees to build structures that support wealth transfer and protect family interests. Our team assists with education for next-generation members so they can become confident stewards of the family legacy.
Liquidity, Risk, and Cash Flow Management
From major purchases and philanthropic commitments to private investments or business ownership, families need thoughtful planning around liquidity and risk. We develop cash flow strategies, evaluate potential exposures, and help maintain stability through market cycles.
Philanthropy and Impact Support
Families often seek to express their values through charitable giving or impact investing. We help define goals, evaluate opportunities, and build frameworks for long-term philanthropic engagement.
Cross-Border and Multi-Jurisdictional Expertise
Many families hold assets in more than one country or have members living internationally. Our team understands the complexities of global mobility, currency exposure, and regulatory requirements and ensures that the family office strategy remains cohesive across borders.

Case Study: Supporting a Global Business Family
A prominent client, the Chairman of a Family-Owned Distribution Company, approached Banfield Capital after their family wealth had expanded across several countries. The family office managed multiple real estate holdings, private business interests, and market investments, but lacked a consolidated view of overall risk, liquidity, and long-term succession planning.
Our team began by conducting a full assessment of their existing structure and investments. We consolidated reporting from several custodians, organized their global holdings, and created a comprehensive asset map. This allowed the family to see their complete financial profile clearly for the first time.
Next, we worked with their legal and tax partners to design a multi-generational estate plan that included trusts, a family governance charter, and an education framework for younger family members. We introduced a long-term investment strategy that balanced income, growth, and liquidity, and identified private investment opportunities aligned with their business expertise.
Within a year, the family office operated with greater efficiency, clearer communication, and more confidence in long-term planning.
“Banfield Capital helped us bring structure to our family wealth. We now have visibility, stability, and a roadmap that reflects our family’s values.”
