THE EVOLUTION OF THE FAMILY OFFICE GROUP In 2021, TIGER 21 launched its first Family Office Group in response to feedback from existing Members.
Many Principals, while finding great value in their core Groups, have expressed a desire to connect more deeply with peers who are also leading or building Single Family Offices and navigating unique challenges in governance, intergenerational planning, wealth transfer, and operational design.
The demand was clear and the response overwhelming. What began as a pilot quickly proved to be one of TIGER 21’s most impactful innovations. Since that time, we’ve launched more than half a dozen Family Office Groups, with plans for continued global expansion. TIGER 21 Family Office is the only network that brings together vetted single Family Office Principals in a confidential, trusted peer learning environment free from solicitaton.

“
I want to be able to pass this to my children, my great grandchildren, or if not, through philanthropic giving - but in a manner that my $1 can become $2 and $3 and last decades. I can take the wisdom of all this generational knowledge in a single Family Office Group, and be able to structure my family office. - AZ Abuid, TIGER 21 Member
