Northwood Family Office is an independent, privately-owned boutique family office, which provides comprehensive Net Worth Management™ to wealthy Canadian and global families. The challenges that come with significant wealth should not be underestimated. Many families with complex family structures own a diversity of investments, business and real estate interests and need the independence, objectivity and counsel that a family office firm can provide. Northwood serves as the single point of contact, like a Personal CFO (Chief Financial Officer), who clients can call on any issue related to their affairs.Northwood's mission is to bring direction, perspective and confidence to the everyday management of our clients' net worth. We help our clients to define a clear sense of the direction they want to take, and to develop a broader and longer-term perspective. We also carefully select external specialists from all relevant financial disciplines, including discretionary managers, to round out the inter-disciplinary service team we manage for each family. With strong emphasis on building a long-lasting relationship with each of our client families, we believe regular, ongoing communication is essential. And throughout the entire process, Northwood maintains absolute confidentiality with respect to our clients and their private information.A family office isn't for everyone. Typical Northwood clients have family net worth in the $10-$500 million range.
