McFaddens & Co

What McFaddens & Co does

McFaddens & Co is an independent, global Multi-Family Office headquartered in London that has served high net worth individuals and families since 1977. The firm operates as a unified coordination point for clients with complex, cross-border lives, offering wealth management (discretionary investment management and strategic planning), strategic advisory (family and business strategy, succession and next-generation planning, family governance, philanthropy, and corporate finance such as M&A, restructuring, and private debt), and lifestyle advisory (concierge access to real estate, leisure, travel, antiquities, art, wine, education, and premium sporting events). Legal services are delivered through the affiliated SRA-regulated firm McFaddens LLP, covering private client matters, corporate and commercial law, real estate, employment, dispute resolution, and sports law.

The business is structured across multiple jurisdictions: McFaddens & Co plc in England and Wales, McFaddens & Co Group Ltd in the UAE (Ras Al Khaimah), and CIIC McFaddens Holdings Ltd in Hong Kong SAR, with additional offices in Beijing and Sydney. The firm employs between 11 and 50 staff and operates a sales-led, relationship-based go-to-market targeting HNW families directly through professional advisers across its global offices. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; services are quote-based and tailored to client requirements, consistent with the bespoke nature of family office engagements. No technology platform, API, or digital product was disclosed in available source material, and the firm appears to rely on its heritage, multi-jurisdictional reach, and integrated service model rather than proprietary technology as its core differentiator.
