A private investment club for selected families
Founded by Hugues d’Annoux and Morten H. Kielland, Key Family Partners is designed as a sophisticated private investment club, which provides high net worth families with a professional structure offering state-of-the-art solutions in asset allocation, investment, reporting and administrative services. Key Family Partners offers clients advisory or discretionary mandates in equities and fixed income.
Participating families have the opportunity to become equity partners and thus share the success of their multi-family office. This close relationship further strengthens the idea of a ‘club’ approach to deals, with families happy to share their deal flow, and expand their network and investment reach.
Two years of success
Since its inception two years ago, Key Family Partners has successfully built a full wealth management offering, encompassing traditional and alternative investments. Thanks to its high allocation weighting in alternatives, in particular private equity, its families portfolios have achieved strong returns. The ‘club deals’ continue to expand and flourish, with 24 investments into private equity and real estate, and 4 successful exits so far. The strong interest from client families and partners into this deal flow has spurred the firm to open co-investments to other family offices and professional investors that share the same entrepreneurial mindset.
