What is a family office?

A family office is an organisation that oversees and manages a family’s financial affairs, including transferring wealth across generations. 

Functioning much like a typical company, it has employees and can be established as a separate entity or integrated within a family’s operating enterprise. 

Today’s environment is more complex, making professional governance and a well-designed family office essential to safeguarding the family legacy. 

Single family office incentive scheme in the Forest City Special Financial Zone

On 23 September 2024, the Securities Commission (SC) set out the criteria for single family office vehicles (SFOVs) to qualify for a 0% concessionary tax rate. The scheme, announced by the Finance Minister II, is part of a broader initiative to strengthen Malaysia’s investment ecosystem, particularly within the Forest City Special Financial Zone (FCSFZ).
