Matthew Fleming becomes MCC President
We are delighted to announce that Matthew Fleming has been appointed as the next President of the Marylebone Cricket club (MCC). MCC is the world’s most active cricket club, the owner of Lord’s Ground and the guardian of the Laws of the game. Founded in 1787, it has been recognised as the sole authority on the Laws of Cricket since its foundation.
Matthew will take up the position from current President, Roger Knight, on the 1st October 2016. Having been an elected member on the Club’s Main committee since 2005, he has become a driving force behind the MCC foundation’s work in Afghanistan, and a well versed and fully supportive member of the board.
Looking forward, Matthew commented, “Next year promises to be a momentous one for the Club - when the new Warner Stand is completed, the refurbishment of the J.P. Morgan Media Centre is finalised and when Lord’s plays host to the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Final.”
This is a hugely prestigious appointment for Matthew, who will continue as the Stonehage Fleming partner leading various activities including our successful Next Gen programme, and developing our Succession proposition. I am sure you will join me in congratulating him and wishing him every success in this role. View MCCs announcement here >>
Stonehage Fleming win STEP Multi Family Office Team of the Year
We are delighted to let you know that Stonehage Fleming was selected as the Multi Family Office Team of the Year at the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) awards in London earlier this month. The STEP awards are recognised as a mark of excellence amongst the global private wealth advisory community, with submissions subject to rigorous analysis by a panel of highly qualified independent judges.
As the largest Multi Family Office in the EMEA region and one of the largest in the world, we have exceptional experience in meeting the often complex needs of wealthy families. We are really proud to have received this independent endorsement of our capabilities from STEP for the second consecutive year and the third time in aggregate.
The judges specifically said: “We were impressed with Stonehage Fleming’s approach to family governance, which is ‘top tier’, as well as the ‘exceptional’ breadth of their offering, performance and expertise.” Our services are designed both to protect and to manage family wealth. In addition to helping families structure their affairs across generations and geographies, we provide advice on the full spectrum of family assets, including commercial interests, property, art and liquid investments where we have over $40 billion under management and administration. We work extensively with other professional firms and advisers, and are always keen to explore how we can further develop these partnerships.
This brings to eight the number of industry awards we have received since Stonehage and Fleming Family & Partners merged in January 2015; we are grateful to our clients for their support and our excellent team for their commitment in making the merger such a success.
Pass the baton: how family offices can survive succession
Succession planning is to become one of the greatest risks for family offices as 43% expect a generational transition in the next 10 years, according to a new study.
Michael Maslinski, a partner at Stonehage Fleming, said: ‘Intergenerational transfer is a crucial part of what we do. And within that, we see succession from one generation to the next as not only one of the greatest opportunities, but also the biggest risk that families face.’
