Financial Management and Risk Framework for a Single-Family Office

Abstract

As the client (BRP) becomes more mature, new investment opportunities arise. The opportunity to invest in alternative investments such as private equity has become a viable option and has already been done to a certain degree. The challenge is that no structured approach exists to determine what size, or if at all, the portfolio of private equity should be pursued to increase total return while still operating within the given risk boundaries. In addition, no research has been done so far in terms of the amount of funding that needs to be committed to maintain such a portfolio.
