FOTT

What FOTT does

FOTT is a Beijing-based, privately-held vertical media, research, and membership community platform serving the family office (家办) industry in China. Operating under the brand "FO Times" (家办时代), the company targets two primary audiences: Chinese single and multi-family offices seeking operational best practices and ecosystem connections, and ultra-high-net-worth families requiring governance, succession, and wealth structuring guidance. Its product surface spans industry news publishing, paid research reports, audio/video courses, in-person training camps, the annual Top50 Summit, and the exclusive 荣缨家族Club (Rongyin Family Club).

The firm's core technology is the iMatch (家办端/家族端) platform — a proprietary online matching system that connects families with global chief family advisor teams through a unified requirement framework, dual-blind evaluation, and audited delivery standards. The platform is registered as software copyright (2025SR1542508). FOTT monetizes through a four-tier annual membership model — Standard (¥288/yr), Premium (¥2,310/yr), VIP (¥39,800/yr), and Institutional (¥198,000/yr) — supplemented by custom-priced Family/Founding-Family memberships, unit-priced research reports (¥0.01–¥1,000), and paid training camps. Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer via fott.top and the WeChat ecosystem (公众号 全球家族智库), with PWA-based mobile access for iOS and Android.

The company's GTM motion is community-led: proprietary research co-published with marquee institutions (Campden Wealth, UBS, Avic Trust, SDIC Taikang Trust, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, Taiping 1929 Family Office, Huagang Wealth, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Gopher Family Office) drives credibility and lead generation, which feeds the membership funnel and recurring subscription revenue. FOTT has hosted events in Beijing, Shanghai, and Sydney, and its research coverage spans 35+ family office organizations and reaches 10,000+ readers globally.

Scale indicators4 records

Others

• Caixin (财新):
• EY Private Client Services / Family Office Practice: Big-Four advisory practices offering family-office consulting, tax, and governance services. Comparable to FOTT on the training/education and family-governance content layer, though EY's primary monetization is professional-services engagements rather than subscriptions or community membership.

Direct peers

• Campden Wealth: UK-based membership and research organization serving ultra-high-net-worth families and family offices globally. Campden Wealth is FOTT's most direct comparable — both monetize through member subscriptions, proprietary research, and exclusive convenings — and is also FOTT's research partner for the annual China Family Business & Investment Forum.
• Family Office Exchange (FOX): US-headquartered membership community for single- and multi-family offices, providing research, benchmarking, and peer-learning events. FOX is a structural analogue to FOTT in serving FO principals with subscription, education, and benchmarking services.

Broad incumbents

• Tiger 21: Peer-advisory organization for high-net-worth investors with member groups, investment education, and exclusive convenings. Comparable to FOTT's model of monetizing access to peer networks and curated content, though Tiger 21's HNW investor base is broader than FOTT's FO-institutional focus.
• UBS Family Office Solutions: UBS's dedicated family-office and global family segment offering investment, advisory, and educational programs to wealthy families worldwide. FOTT and UBS have co-published the 2021 China FO research — UBS is both a partner and a competitive incumbent with deeper resources to deliver in-house content and events.
• Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP): Global professional society for practitioners in trust, estate, and family-office advisory, with national chapters, certification, and conferences. Comparable to FOTT in being a global professional ecosystem, though STEP is membership-and-certification oriented and broader than FOTT's narrow FO/media focus.

Regional players

• Mass Family Office / The Family Office (MEASA): Regional multi-family office and membership community serving HNW families across the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. Compares to FOTT on a regional multi-family-office community model, but operates primarily outside China and is not a direct competitor in the mainland market.

Emerging players

• Addepar: Wealth-technology platform providing portfolio reporting, analytics, and data infrastructure used by many single- and multi-family offices globally. Adjacent to FOTT's iMatch/iMatch platform ambitions — both serve as technology rails for FO workflows, but Addepar focuses on investment data while FOTT iMatch focuses on matching and collaboration.
• 上海财华国际家族办公室 / China-family-office portals (e.g., Family Office Hub China): Emerging China-based FO media and matching platforms serving a similar UHNW / FO community through research, directories, and events. They overlap directly with FOTT's FO Times vertical media and iMatch matching ambitions in mainland China, though none has yet matched FOTT's Top50 or Campden co-convening presence.
