Executive Summary

A prominent Boston-based family office managing $2.8 billion in assets across four generations faced challenges with their investment management process. Their legacy systems couldn't handle the complexity of their global multi-asset portfolio, resulting in suboptimal returns, excessive risk exposure, and operational inefficiencies.

The Challenge

The family office approached Smart Investing with several critical challenges that were impacting their portfolio performance and operational efficiency:

Manual Portfolio Analysis

Investment analysts spent over 80 hours per month manually analyzing portfolio performance and preparing reports, leading to delayed decision-making.

Inconsistent Risk Management

Existing models failed to capture complex market correlations and emerging risks, resulting in unexpected portfolio volatility.

Limited Tax Efficiency

The family office struggled to optimize after-tax returns across multiple asset classes and jurisdictions.

Technology Integration

Legacy systems couldn't integrate with modern investment platforms, creating data silos and inconsistent reporting.

ESG Considerations

The family's increasing focus on sustainable investing was difficult to implement systematically across their portfolio.

With 70+ family members across four generations, the family office needed a solution that could address these challenges while accommodating diverse investment goals, time horizons, and risk tolerances.
