Fees, Staying In Your Lane, and Why The Next Generation Matters Most

Family offices miss moonshot bets like early OpenAI/Anthropic by staying too rigidly in their founding investment lane.

• Fee-tiering strategy: Single family offices (SFOs) reserve $2,000-an-hour specialists for high-stakes legal/strategy work, using mid-range project managers for routine emails and calls.
• Staying in your lane: Family offices built on chemicals, real estate, or one asset class often lack the expertise to evaluate outside sectors, causing missed moonshots like early OpenAI or Anthropic bets.
