Plan for the future with a private foundation
In an increasingly complex world, families and individuals naturally want to preserve and protect their wealth.
However, doing so effectively and efficiently isn’t always easy.
A foundation is an independent legal entity that allows its founders to bestow assets, separating founders from the ownership of assets for wealth protection and tax efficiency. They are typically used for the purposes of family wealth and succession planning, philanthropic purposes, charitable causes, and holding structures for underlying businesses and investments.
They offer an attractive platform for local and international families as well as family offices to structure their business and succession planning arrangements and ensure the smooth transition from the founding generation to the next.
Ocorian’s private client team will establish and administer a tailored investment foundation that fulfils wealth planning ambitions and legacy plans while meeting all regulatory requirements.
