The UK Family Office Association (UKFOA)
The UK's independent body for family office verification, adviser listings and professional standards in private wealth.
“To promote transparency, establish verification standards and connect family offices with trusted advisers.”
— UK Family Office Association (UKFOA), Mission Statement
Eight principles that guide our work
We act in the interest of the family office community above all else.
We operate openly and publish our verification criteria.
We establish and maintain rigorous verification standards.
We uphold best practice across the ecosystem.
We are not owned by or affiliated with any adviser firm.
We curate rather than aggregate.
Family office members always join free.
We build for decades, not quarters.
Trust
The UK Family Office Association (UKFOA) was established to be trusted. Trust is built slowly, through transparent standards, independent governance and a refusal to compromise on the integrity of our verification process.
Transparency
We publish our verification criteria, our membership tiers and our pricing. We do not sell access to family office members. We are funded by adviser memberships and sponsorships only.
Independence
The Association is not owned by, affiliated with, or beholden to any adviser firm, bank or service provider. Our independence is structural and is the foundation of our credibility.
Independent governance
The UK Family Office Association (UKFOA) is governed by an independent advisory board drawn from the family office, private client and academic communities. Board appointments and governance documents are reviewed annually and published in accordance with our principle of transparency.
