Protecting and growing wealth for today, tomorrow, and generations to come
As a successful individual or family living abroad, you have achieved what many aspire to - both professionally and personally. However, with that success comes a financial picture that’s increasingly intricate. Managing wealth across borders, currencies, and markets brings challenges that weren’t present in the early days. Your role as a family steward, balancing current needs with long-term goals, means it’s vital to have a financial strategy that ensures the protection and growth of wealth through the generations.
With your financial situation becoming more complex, it can be hard to find the time to properly manage and optimise it.
You’re likely balancing investments, business interests, and family obligations spread across multiple jurisdictions. The constant demands of your life - and your desire to build something lasting for the next generation - can make it difficult to focus on the finer details of wealth management.
Our goal is to help you create a streamlined Life Strategy that aligns with your values, giving you the freedom to focus on what truly matters.
The traditional financial advice that works for many simply isn’t designed to handle the specific challenges you face.
With cross-border tax planning, estate management, and multi-generational wealth concerns, you need more than just generic financial guidance. What you require is a holistic, long-term approach that integrates your personal and family goals with a sophisticated financial strategy that can adapt as your life and legacy evolve.
In essence, you need a personal CFO - someone who can take the complexities off your plate, so you can focus on being the CEO of your life. We work as your dedicated financial partner, helping to ensure your wealth remains secure, agile, and ready for the future.
Our breakthrough four-step methodology sets us apart from ‘traditional’ wealth management firms. This unites highly tested, personalised financial planning, and an extraordinary Nobel prize-winning investment process, with proven fiduciary service.
Our objective is to learn about you; your goals and objectives; so we can understand IF and HOW we can help you. If we can’t help - we’ll do our best to point you in the direction of someone who can.
Shortly after the 15-minute Discovery Call, you’ll meet with a financial life manager to talk more about you. Together, you’ll discuss your vision, values, relationships, assets, and interests so your financial life manager understands what matters to you most. You’ll likely discover some valuable insights and learn about the advantages of choosing AES.
Now comes the first decision - the time to make a commitment. We’ll formalise the relationship with a Client Agreement, introduce you to our team, and then begin work on crafting your new financial plan.
Your Life Strategy lays out a detailed picture of your future and the things that are important to you. This is presented to you and refined along with your investment policy statement. If you wish to implement this strategy, you’ll then explore three areas; what foundations to build upon, how much risk you feel comfortable with, and your required rate of return to enable you to live the life you want.
We’ll now organise your account paperwork, confirm you’re comfortable with the relationship, and address any outstanding issues. To ensure you’re staying on track and meeting your goals, we’ll review your progress on a regular schedule and remain on call for anything you need in between. Life happens, so we’ll use these meetings to make any adjustments to your Life Strategy.
One of the most important questions successful individuals and families ask is: “How can I ensure my wealth will sustain future generations?”
It’s not just about having enough for now, but about ensuring that your legacy can endure.
We start by listening to your priorities, understanding what success looks like for you and your family. Then, we build a custom financial plan designed to protect, grow, and pass on your wealth - taking into account everything from global tax strategies to long-term investments. With us, you’ll have the peace of mind that your family’s financial future is secure, no matter what changes life brings.
Great financial life management is like an iceberg, with most of the real story happening below the surface. There are much deeper conversations to be had. AES advocates strongly for a well-planned, intentional, and flourishing future for all the individuals and families we serve. Book a no-obligation, no-commitment chat today.
Successful individuals and families come to AES because achievement brings complexity, and at a certain point managing wealth properly needs more time and expertise than a busy life allows. Wealth spread across borders, currencies, business interests and markets, combined with the responsibility of protecting it for the next generation, quickly outgrows the advice that served you earlier on.
AES acts as your personal CFO, taking the complexity off your plate so you can focus on being the CEO of your life. As the only certified fiduciary in the region, it's fee-only and legally bound to act in your interest, invests through an evidence-based approach grounded in Nobel Prize-winning research, and coordinates your whole financial life, investments, cross-border tax, estate planning and succession, into one connected strategy. For a family steward balancing today's needs with a lasting legacy, that single coordinated view is what conventional advice can't offer.
Making wealth last across generations takes deliberate planning, because without it, even significant wealth can erode through tax, poor structuring, or decisions made in isolation. The goal isn't only to have enough for today, but to ensure what you've built endures, passing to your children and beyond intact and on your terms.
That means structuring your estate efficiently across the countries your family touches, making sure your wishes are legally recognised wherever they need to be, managing cross-border inheritance tax exposure, and preparing the next generation rather than simply providing for them. AES builds multi-generational planning into your wider financial strategy, coordinating investments, tax and succession as one connected picture, so the legacy you've worked to create is protected and passes on the way you intend, whatever changes life brings.
For many successful people, the obstacle isn't money or capability, it's time. Balancing a demanding career or business, family responsibilities, and interests spread across multiple countries leaves little room to manage and optimise a complex financial life, and important details are easily neglected as a result.
This is exactly what AES is built for. Acting as your personal CFO, it takes the whole burden off your plate: building and managing your financial plan, investing your wealth through a disciplined, evidence-based process, coordinating the tax and legal specialists you already use, and keeping everything on track as your circumstances change. You stay in control of the decisions that matter, without having to find time you don't have, so your success translates into lasting security and genuine peace of mind rather than a source of pressure.
AES typically works with individuals and families who have $1 million or more in investable assets, though the more important factor is complexity rather than a single number. The value of a firm like AES is greatest when your financial life has grown genuinely intricate: wealth across borders, business or property interests, family responsibilities, and decisions around tax, retirement and succession that all interact.
If your situation is straightforward, AES will say so honestly and may point you toward a simpler, better-suited option. But if you've reached the point where your wealth is significant, your life is complex, and no one is currently responsible for the whole picture, that's exactly where AES adds the most value, as your personal CFO, coordinating everything into one strategy built around you.
