Philanthropy and socially responsible investing are now core considerations for many individuals, families and businesses. Our dedicated philanthropy team will work with a network of experts to assist you, or your business, with giving more effectively and making a positive impact on issues that are close to your heart.
Our experts will manage your philanthropic endeavours whether that be in your lifetime or as part of your estate planning. We are experienced in establishing foundations, charitable companies, trusts and investment funds. We also offer Sharia-compliant structures and governance in accordance with Sharia principles.
Our philanthropic strategies are tailored to meet your personal objectives while ensuring they are tax efficient. For some clients, the creation and maintenance of philanthropic structures is part of a wider process of engaging the next generation in the responsibilities of wealth management and as a way of passing on family values.
For others, the focus is on ethical investments and positive social impact, while also generating a financial return. This type of investing (ESG) considers a company’s environmental, social and community impact. We can provide various structures in which to make such investments such as companies, funds or limited partnership vehicles.
We know that you value expertise, experience and total discretion. Providing wealth structuring solutions for more than 60 years, Hawksford is a trusted partner. Our respected private client professionals based in Asia and Europe have significant expertise in creating trusts, companies, foundations and other structures.
