Private Family Office
Calvin Farel is the family’s private ownership and investment office in Zurich. Its purpose is to bring a coherent perspective to proprietary capital, business interests and the responsibilities that accompany ownership.
Ownership
We consider both the merits of an opportunity and the obligations it would create. This means understanding the business, assessing the people responsible for it and establishing how decisions will be made. The capacity to fund future commitments matters alongside the initial investment.
The office
Considering the family’s interests together, including liquidity, concentration and commitments over time.
Assessing opportunities to invest proprietary capital independently or alongside selected partners.
Giving attention to decision rights, management accountability and the information needed to oversee an investment.
Bringing relevant external legal, tax, investment and technical expertise into decisions where it is required.
Generations
The family-office perspective includes future commitments and changes in ownership. We consider how capital decisions may affect succession and the next generation, drawing on relevant external expertise when specialist advice is required.
Structure
Our privately owned structure supports a long-term investment horizon. Calvin Farel invests proprietary family capital and does not solicit capital from the public through this website. Selected strategic support is considered by invitation in connection with investments and established relationships.
