FAMILY OFFICE MOTIVES IN REAL ESTATE INVESTING - Presentation delivered by Jeffrey Hall, Senior Managing Director and Corbin Rich, Real Estate Manager of MANCHESTER CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, LLC at the IFG Wealth Management Forum Spring 2014 held in Phoenix, AZ
2. MANCHESTER CAPITAL – ORIGINS AND STRUCTUREMANCHESTER CAPITAL ORIGINS AND STRUCTURE
• Created to manage the financial affairs of several related Wall Street families who recognized the
limits and problems with Wall Street – transaction driven, commission loaded, and conflicting
constituencies. “ Where are the client’s boats?”
• Over the years assisted other families so that we were required to become registered with SEC in
1993 as a registered investment advisor. Currently serve about 45 families, representing about 150
households, and approximately $2.1 billion of assets under management.
• Thirty‐one professionals working out of four offices: Manchester, Vermont; Manhattan, New York;
Charlottesville, Virginia; and Montecito, California. Each office established in response to client
demand, and we’ve never purchased assets or sought lift‐outs.
• Firm is owned by its clients and employees and is governed by a Board of Managers consisting of
two client families and three employees so that we will remain independent in perpetuity freetwo client families and three employees, so that we will remain independent in perpetuity, free
from the demands of a corporate owner seeking to cross‐sell services or restrain client priorities.
• The only revenues come from a fee on client assets, so that we practice true open architecture,
with no products, commissions, entangling arrangements with managers, soft dollars, or other
forms of conflicts widespread in our industry.p y
• In essence, we have an annuity based business model, whereby putting client interests ahead of
our own, we capture an enduring revenue stream that allows us to suffer high COGS initially but
engender a long‐term relationship that is profitable.
