Family Office
A private wealth management advisory firm serving ultra-high-net-worth families, managing investments, tax, estate planning, and administration.
A family office is a private organization managing the financial and personal affairs of ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) families — typically families with $100M+ in investable assets for single-family offices (SFO) and $25M-$100M for multi-family office (MFO) clients. Family offices are a critical allocation channel for alternative investment managers: they are long-term capital sources, make independent investment decisions without institutional bureaucracy, and often have explicit alternatives mandates (20-40% allocation to hedge funds, PE, private credit, real assets). Reaching family offices requires a tailored approach: they are not fully listed in public databases, receive hundreds of fund solicitations, and personal relationships and introductions carry disproportionate weight. Empire325 builds family office outreach programs combining digital content, targeted advertising, and referral network development for alternative investment managers.

Tooling. Salesforce Marketing Cloud — enterprise marketing cloud anchored to Sales Cloud CRM — is where most practitioners first encounter family office in production. Empire325 integrates family office into lead generation engagements through this and adjacent platforms.
Scenario. A asset-management RIA engagement where the SEC Marketing Rule (Rule 206(4)-1) governs what testimonials and performance claims appear in marketing.
