Any decision made in the managing of family wealth has a direct impact on future generations. The asset’s value may vary depending on the cash flow generated by the operating asset; with the sale of a high value asset; or with other decisions that always involve some form of risk.

This area can quickly become more complex as family structures grow and with the incorporation of external actors and new generations in the management of family assets.  Establishing early on a formal structure to appropriately manage family wealth helps to refocus the group’s interests towards a set of common objectives and avoid possible tensions in the future.

Asesores en Finanzas supports family groups in the preservation of their legacy, maximizing performance and minimizing risks for the benefit of present and future generations.

We advise family businesses in:

• Defining and implementing sound investment strategies.
• Establishing clear strategies for the placement of capital across asset classes aligned with the short, medium and long-term family interests.
• Regularly monitoring financial portfolios, using objective evaluation methods defined in conjunction with our clients. 
• Supporting the organization by helping implement a governance structure with transparent and measurable objectives for the family.

Asset diversification is key to minimizing risks and grow family wealth in a responsible and sustainable way. A balanced portfolio should include investments in various asset classes, across different sectors of the economy and spread across different levels of liquidity and risk.

The proper strategic planning of a diversified portfolio achieves good yields in certain investments with controlled risk exposure.

We advise owners and shareholders of family businesses in addressing these challenges as to how to best protect and grow the liquidity generated by a possible sale or partial sale of their businesses.

Asesores en Finanzas helps family groups analyze and identify various investment alternatives – We help Family Groups develop and manage a diversified portfolio, in line with their long-term objectives.

Efficient governance is the key to run a business effectively; family groups often face a tough challenge as they grow to a point where a reorganization or governance advisory is required to efficiently manage the group.

The process of transitioning to a new generation is a natural event that impacts many family-run organizations. The legacy of a family’s wealth is directly related to the proper management of this process.

Financial Valuation is the process of estimating the monetary value of an asset, whether tangible or intangible.

We have conducted hundreds of financial valuations and fairness opinions over time to assess the value of an operating asset or to confirm to business owners whether the offer they received for their business is appropriate.

Conducting a financial valuation is both a science and an art. A science because it is based on recognized methodologies, used by experts worldwide. An art because multiple assumptions and criteria are to be made, many of which are subjective, depending on the financial situation, macroeconomic factors, and business environment.

At Asesores en Finanzas, we present, in our valuation reports, a detailed analysis of value based on various conventional methods of valuation to which we add our know-how and understanding of the regional market and its peculiarities.
