Your Family Office. Our Platform.
Each family gets the ownership and control of a single family office, with the infrastructure and economies of scale of a multi-family office. You own the structure. We run the platform underneath it.
Who This Is For
Families whose wealth has outgrown a single advisor, but who do not want the cost and staffing of a standalone family office.
- Several advisors, no one coordinating them
- Multiple entities, trusts, and asset classes
- A next generation that needs structure and preparation
What Each Family Gets
- A dedicated single family office: your entity, your board, your charter
- Consolidated reporting across the full balance sheet
- Coordination of attorneys, CPAs, managers, and insurance
- Governance design and an operating rhythm
Why This Structure
- Ownership: the office belongs to the family, not the platform
- Leverage: shared systems and staff lower the cost
- Independence: we coordinate your team rather than replace it
Single, Multi, or Both
Families usually choose between owning a single family office and joining a multi-family office. The 2SIX model is built to keep what each does well.
| Standalone single family office | Typical multi-family office | 2SIX Partners | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who owns the office | The family | The MFO firm | The family owns its dedicated office |
| Governance | Family's own board and charter | Usually the firm's standard process | Family's own board and charter, designed with us |
| Staff and systems | Hired and paid for by the family | Shared across clients | Shared platform, principal-led |
| Cost structure | High fixed cost regardless of activity | Fees spread across many clients | Fixed retainer plus fees only for services used |
| Privacy | Fully private | Varies by firm | Private by default; sharing optional |
General comparison. Individual firms and family offices vary.
From First Conversation to Operating Rhythm
Discovery
We map the family's entities, trusts, advisors, and decision-making today, and where the gaps are.
Design the family office
We establish the dedicated office: entity, board, charter, and the roles the family wants us to fill.
Stand up governance
Family council, trust protocols, and a Family Capital Framework if the family wants one.
Connect the advisors
Existing attorneys, CPAs, managers, and insurers stay in place. We become the hub that connects them and sees the whole balance sheet.
Run the rhythm
Consolidated reporting, board and council meetings, an annual family meeting, and next-generation programs, on a set calendar.
A Small Number of Families, by Design
Building a dedicated family office for each family takes principal time, so the platform is capped by complexity and governance capacity, not by volume. Both founders work directly with every family. Engagements are by invitation, and fit matters as much as size.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a multi-family office?
A multi-family office serves several families from one shared team and infrastructure, typically covering governance, advisor coordination, consolidated reporting, and administration. Families share the cost of staff and systems that would be expensive to build alone.
How is 2SIX Partners different from a typical multi-family office?
Most multi-family offices serve families as clients of one shared organization. 2SIX Partners establishes a dedicated single family office for each family, with the family's own entity, board, and governance charter, and runs it on the shared 2SIX platform. The family owns the structure; the platform supplies the infrastructure.
What is the difference between a single family office and a multi-family office?
A single family office serves one family and is owned and staffed by that family, which gives full control at a high fixed cost. A multi-family office serves several families from shared staff and systems, which lowers cost but usually means less control. The 2SIX model combines a family-owned office with shared infrastructure.
Does a family have to participate in group activities or share information?
No. Each family's office is private by default. Shared intelligence across the platform is anonymized and entirely optional; there is no expectation of meetings, collaboration, or deal participation.
Does 2SIX Partners provide investment advice?
No. 2SIX Partners is not a registered investment adviser. Investment services, including outsourced chief investment officer services, are provided by WealthEQ, LLC, a Colorado-registered investment adviser, under a separate agreement.
