Our Founder & CEO Ahmad Saidali<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The family office view<\/h3>\n

The panel will consider how capital from the region is being allocated, and how regional investors are building deeper partnerships with global managers. Ahmad will bring the family office perspective: a family office should begin with the family, and every mandate should follow from the family\u2019s own design.<\/p>\n

The Redwood View<\/div>\n

A family office should begin with the family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He will set out the sequence Redwood Heritage believes the work should take.<\/p>\n

The family comes first.<\/strong> The family\u2019s context, obligations and horizon define its capital structure.<\/p>\n

The structure shapes the allocation.<\/strong> The capital structure sets the strategic asset allocation, and the allocation determines the mandates.<\/p>\n

Managers follow the mandate.<\/strong> Only once the design is clear are managers and products chosen, so the family owns a coherent portfolio built around its own objectives.<\/p>\n

Our thanks to CapLink Group and EY-Parthenon for the invitation.<\/p>\n
