Panel discussion from the 2019 Family Office Super Summit on real estate investors success stories here from five real estate investment firms who have raised over $20 million each. So we're going to keep this one focused on real estate and we're going to keep this focused on how these firms have been able to successfully raise capital in their respective asset classes. Please keep in mind, I do get a lot of people that come up to me and say, wow, you guys have a lot of real estate investors here. And the stats on our investors are as follows, 75% of our family offices invest in real estate. On average, it makes up about 25% of their portfolio. What that means is that on average another 75% is diversified into other niches.

Richard Wilson, at the Hyatt where we are hosting our private investors summit. I'm putting together a plug and play virtual family office infrastructure solution for $200 million-plus net worth families and I'm going to be kind of beta testing this structure across maybe a dozen families that are all worth somewhere between 15 to 20 million on the low end, up to three to 400 million of net worth. If you're a family of that nature and you want to see what we're doing to make things more cookie-cutter at the start for a virtual family office or your core infrastructure is available, and then obviously we customize things to whether you have 10 LLCs or 200 or whether you have five homes and 10 businesses or one business and a lot of real estate holdings, et cetera, but to have a plug and play infrastructure is really our goal for a lot of our clients who are going forward. Do you want to learn more about that? Shoot me a quick note. It's just Richard@familyoffices.com going to learn a little bit more about us. First and then shoot me a note. Please go to Centimillionaires.com its Centimillionaires.com and you'll see some of the investor advisory work that we do there, or family offices.com you come to meet me face to face in person at one of our 32 live events a year first.

Richard C. Wilson speaks on industry-standard investment management fees. If you are searching online for them and you're not familiar with them, I am 90% sure that you're either an investor that doesn't know what's the norm. Anyone make sure you negotiate and don't pay above-average fees. Or you're someone who is starting an investment firm, an independent sponsor firm, a real estate development firm raising capital for something, and you're not sure what the industry standard is. But it's really the wrong question to ask. The most important thing to ask is, you know, is my team industry-standard credibility? Do we have the industry-standard track record to even industry-standard or above offering?

Richard C. Wison speaks on setting up a virtual family office and what you should be thinking instead of: "Do I need an SFO or and MFO  well, I'm only worth 15 million or 25 million. I'm not a family office type individual, so I can't really consider that path." The option is to create a virtual family office. What alot of people overlook is that many people who are very experienced in dealing with $100 million+  families will still work with you at 15 to 25 million on a carved-out basis/ an ad hoc basis. When you need their help or on a unique basis, it's different than becoming a full-fledged client with him. Another thing to keep in mind is that if you want to leverage the tens of millions and overhead that private banks for wealth management firms have. You can access some of their managers that have been fully due diligence to access some of their strategies and connections by the thousands of employees and do so on an ad hoc basis.

Richard C. Wilson, CEO, and president of the Family Office club identified the most common mistake that he has seen capital raisers make. They make the mistake of taking success with a direct investment model. Where there's no funds and turned it into fund model. The mistake is that they go to their current investors already like them, trust them and invest with them and say," Hey, would you be open to coming in my fund?" And they say, "Yes, sure", because I've already invested in four of their deals but people have not invested with before may not want to come into the fund is gonna be harder. They're trading one headache for another headache of their own pain of running around and finding the investors they need to close a deal in 6 to 8 weeks and independent sponsor model for the headache of promising a blind pool to investors within a fund model. And I would always rather to the headache is more hard work for me in the thing, which is going to really stop investors from considering a deal. I've seen people who have raised $300 million in direct investments, not be able to raise a $10 million fund.

Richard C. Wilson, founder of the Family Office Club and Centimillionaire advisors, LLC coming to you from downtown Singapore. Just finishing up my lunch break for private Investor Advantage Workshop for family offices and how to start a family office that I'm hosting here. And that's one of the emphasized the importance of a great factor with investing, building trust, with investors working with family offices. You can have all the integrity in the world or excellent team, but if you don't see things through, it doesn't mean anything. You can be passionate, have great skills and have great intellectual property. But if you can't make it through the challenges and really stick to your strategy and stick to your game plan through the ups and downs again, nothing will come of it. And I think that since the whole investment and investors space is focused on trust and getting a high conviction on not only the strategy that who's executing the strategy great is a really central factor to all of that.

 Richard C Wilson wanted to quickly dispel one myth about what Family Office Club does. Why would we put out videos just like this? Why we write books? Why we do a podcast?  etcetera. Most of my competitors came up in a world where they grew their credibility, their business, and all the relationships through live events, like the one we're hosting right here in this Hyatt. But also a lot of did it through with referrals and handshakes and in-person connections only. And when people see what we do, they think, Oh, you can't attract ultra-wealthy clients via social media. You can't use digital media assets and thought leadership, to do business, but they're wrong because they're at our event saying that because that stuff works, and the main point I wanted to get across here was that you still need to meet face to face. You still need to shake hands, so you need to get to know someone, see that they're genuine. They're real. That their expertise is focused in an area where they can add value to you. Big differences Nowadays, you can create hundreds or thousands of those relationships per year using a digital funnel that gets you more in-person relationships. 

Richard C. Wilson explains what he calls wealth shrapnel. Basically, you know what is negative about being ultrawealthy? A lot of people see ultrawealthy as someone who has a private jet, has many houses, and more money than they know what to do with. Perhaps, is making investments all the time. But I don't see all the negative things that come with it. You know, I have one client who's worth several $100 million who has been blackmailed 12 times. I have people that are clients who are threatened by employees. That if they don't do something like give them a big severance or agree to something in a settlement that them and three others will claim that that person did something to them and ruin the reputation,  essentially. People who are ultrawealthy are typically the ones who are sued the most. The regulators come after them. They're on everybody's radar. If you're in some countries, it's whose assets get confiscated or who has new laws created, to basically take away their assets or take away their market share. Many times, it's the ultra-wealthy who are targeted for kind of silly lawsuits over slip and falls, and it happens much more often than most people probably know about.

We have 58 current clients. Who altogether are worth well over a $1 Billion. We advise on a couple of 100 million of the portions of their assets related to direct investments. I have been making big progress on virtual family office infrastructure, lately. Helping with getting a family office, quality CFO and all the accounting infrastructure. It needs to go in a place and having that be kind of plug and play ready for clients.  Also having the direct investment components. Helping them with a strategy on that, figuring out when they start their family office, what their strike zone should be or I formalize it. What direct investments should they be doing in-house versus outsourcing to a best in class provider? Then on top of that, figuring out who should be doing the traditional wealth management private banking work. We don't do that component internally, but we now have agreements signed in place with several wealth advisors and multi-family offices who, depending on your location, or whether you're a dentist, or a doctor or a business owner caters to your needs and industry.

Richard C. Wilson interviews a Florida-based Private investor on what are his strategies in investing. How he chooses to invest in his industry, real estate, etc as he also shares his $100,000 idea. He notes what his thoughts are on the current financial climate and how he sees the impact in his investments and advice to others on how to tackles these obstacles. 

Richard Wilson, from Centimillionaire Advisors, LLC and our investor portal http://PrivateEquity.com - and I wanted to record a quick video on life settlements. 

This is a strategy that I like because it acts differently in my client's portfolios and other things that does not track to the real estate market. It does not track, typically to the stock market or interest rates, or whoever the current president is fighting a trade war or some political front with somebody else or an election coming up. It is a life insurance fund. It's a life insurance industry investment vehicle where you're getting exposure. Typically, the hundreds if not,1000 plus policies. And really, what impacts returns as if people suddenly start living a lot shorter lives or a lot longer lives? And that typically hasn't historically happened. You know, if you're watching this video soon after a record of that, that's when the Coronavirus really spreading and cities are going a lockdown. And, God forbid, the death toll actually goes very high. You know, no one wishes for that, but you know, this type of investment would actually it's probably gonna stay the same, but it might go up by half a percent or 1% because the people who have the life insurance policies that are invested in through such a strategy are the ones, typically that are, you know, in the last 5 to 7 years of their life or last few years of their life, etcetera. And that's why they need liquidity on their life insurance policy to enjoy life, get the right treatment, get access to that capital. So I don't want a Greek court a long video here explaining the whole strategy. I just want to plant the seed that the life settlements investment space is, I think always, Ah, pretty good place to be in part of your portfolio, at least a couple of percentage points. You have to maybe 5 to 7% depending on the type of investor. Or maybe it's not appropriate based on who you are. But it's pretty interesting space to look at and begin to more. If you want to learn more as an investor, you can do so by registering as a client doesn't cost anything. The onboard it takes about five minutes. Just go to Privateequity.com, fill out the short form and agreement there and we'll look you're onboarding survey and get on the phone with you shortly and we can give you access to the life settlement investment that we work with most often. Thanks for listening. And I hope, to see you at a live event soon. Take care.
