The Clients We Serve

Since our founding in 1923, we have consistently recognized one overarching truth: No two families are the same. This is why chemistry and achieving a true partnership with those we serve is so important to us. Because of our high-touch approach, we generally invite only three to five new families a year to join Pitcairn, ensuring that each family has an outstanding, highly personalized experience. Our clients generally have:

  • Complex wealth structures such as assets held in trusts
  • At least $50 million in investable assets
  • A desire to strengthen or enhance family decision making and family governance
  • A need to prepare the rising generation to become wealth owners or inheritors
