MBMG Family Office specializes in providing services tailored to each family office, according to their size, location, and needs.
Our clients are mainly based in or have strong connections with Asia.
We aim to blend global expertise with local presence and empathy for local culture and values.
We take the view that it is best to have a structure and a vision as early in the process as possible and this can help allow for investment diversification and expansion when the opportunity arises, but also that it is never too late to start to formalise within a family office many of the principles that have been important in the family’s success.
“At MBMG Family Office, we take the view that while successful families can succeed to a certain extent in an almost infinite number of ways, the sustainable successful development of each family’s resources is a unique and highly personal matter.”

A family’s values and vision, even more than the sum of its accumulated wealth, define its legacy. A family office aims to integrate these values into all aspects of a family’s planning and arrangements, helping to express that vision through a cohesive impact that survives through the generations.
Many of MBMG Family Office’s clients might be regarded as smaller family offices, with cash flows, businesses and investments at generally lower levels than might be the province of the family office. We take the view that it is best to have a structure and a vision as early in the process as possible and then to develop and refine this over time. - Pual Gambles

How does the process start?
This depends on you and your family and what are your key priorities.
It also depends on what stage your journey has reached. Many families already operate family offices, in either a formally structured approach or a less formal approach, having evolved naturally to reflect the priorities of the family and its business and financial interests.
An "Unstructured Family Office" typically refers to a situation where a family retains direct personal ownership in their own names of the family businesses and assets but operates these in a way that reflects a broader vision.
A "Structured Family Office" typically refers to a situation where structures such as trusts and holdings companies are used to control or own the assets impersonally, in a more formalised basis.
There is often overlap and grey area in between these two definitions.
Therefore, our work often starts by trying to understand what might be the most urgent for you.
• During Covid-19 much of work was driven by clients’ focus turning to succession and legacy planning, including the creation of family office councils and the drafting, or updating of family office constitutions
• At other times, the focus might be more directed to planning the most tax efficient distribution of cash, or income distribution planning for the family members.
• With a family office, these priorities and outcomes are intertwined.
• In recent years, we have seen a rise in demand for prenuptial agreements and other intergenerational forms of family office planning.
• A recurrent theme often involves developing tools to assess and monitor the various risks inherent in the family’s portfolios of assets, including businesses, investments, and properties, as well as currency risk.
• We sometimes find that a family has not regularly undertaken risk tolerance assessments and reviews and has no recent calibration of its acceptable risk parameters.
• MBMG Family Office has been acknowledged as Thailand’s leading experts in family office solutions to the challenges of cross-border information exchange, with detailed knowledge of protocols such as BEPS, CRS, and the Thai Transfer Pricing Act.
