Talk:Family office

Comment
This is an important entry and shouldn't be deleted. Family offices manage a large portion of the nation's wealth.

It really needs input from someone that works in the family office business.

Needs editing
Why are there three vague and overlapping definitions of family offices? The top discussion at least has footnotes. It just needs a little more clarity and to make whatever distinction is to be made. DCDuring 05:05, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * That section seems rather useless, but the saying is, "If you've seen one family office, you've seen one." Each office is structured to meet the needs of the particular family and its businesses and interests. User:Fred Bauder Talk 17:16, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Tax avoidance section
Its unclear to why there is a tax avoidance section, which suggests that a principal purpose of a family office is tax avoidance, which is not the case. I would suggest deleting this section. Any views?Keith Johnston (talk) 17:41, 21 August 2018 (UTC)


 * I am inclined to agree with the position of Keith here. It is not only so poorly written as to suggest the purpose of a family office is to avoid tax, it is written as an opinion piece, not an encyclopaedic examination of the issue.
