About Quadrigae Privatus
About Quadrigae Privatus
The headline was just meant to startle you, and perhaps highlight how your family and business affairs are being handled. Let us explain. Over the years, our team has spent more than 50,000 hours handling over 500 ultra-high-net-worth families. We handle investments, strategy, corporate finance, immigration, private equity, estate planning, succession and philanthropy. But we never lose sight of the fact that we first handle the interests of the family. Family interest is the horse that needs to be put ahead of the carts of strategy, or investments, or private equity or for that matter, anything else. To get this balance right, we spend a lot of time understanding both - business realities and family dynamics. We collaborate across our global network of experts and dip into our collective insights of working with families to deliver cutting edge family-first solutions.
No wonder, we are always the first port of call for most families working with us.

To serve any family successfully, one needs to tick all the boxes. For starters, multiple complex businesses belonging to a single family, operating in multiple jurisdictions definitely needs access to expertise that is global. And while every family is unique, the challenges they face are not dissimilar. Our experience of serving over 500 families makes our perspectives sharper, and learning curve shorter. Lastly, our philosophy of investing time in understanding both the business realities and the family dynamics ensures that we treat each family's situation in a unique manner, and thus have a finer understanding of the issues at hand. These three strands patiently stitched together, with time, make the Quadrigae Privatus DNA.
