A family office may publish a description of its services while keeping its investment portfolio private. An investment manager may file regulatory disclosures that describe one legal entity, rather than every business within a group. For readers, the practical challenge is not simply finding a large number. It is understanding what that number measures, who reported it and when it was measured. ## Start with the reporting perimeter Our founding directory keeps the original asset label beside every figure. Assets under advisement, assets under supervision and investment management and advice are presented separately. They do not become a common AUM measure merely because all three are expressed in dollars. The same discipline applies to the organization itself. A legal subsidiary, an investment management business and an entire family office group can have different reporting boundaries. Comparisons should make that boundary visible. ## Use public signals for the questions they answer Regulatory filings can illuminate reported holdings or advisory activities. Official company publications can explain services and reported scale. Transaction announcements can document particular investments. Each source is useful within its limits. A quarterly holdings disclosure is not a complete performance record. An announcement documents a reported transaction; it does not establish the success of the investment. A larger asset figure does not establish better investment management. ## What the Review is building The first edition brings together sourced profiles, editorial explainers and an organizer directory. The coverage is deliberately selective. Every expansion should add evidence and clarity rather than a promise of completeness that the underlying sources cannot support. Our starting principle is straightforward: retain the definition, retain the date and keep the source within reach. --- ### Sources and further reading - [SEC: Family Offices rule](https://www.sec.gov/rules-regulations/2011/06/family-offices?ref=localhost) - [SEC: Form 13F questions and answers](https://www.sec.gov/rules-regulations/staff-guidance/frequently-asked-questions-about-form-13f?ref=localhost) - [The Review's sourced profile sample](http://localhost:2368/directory/) Editorial explainer prepared with AI assistance and checked against the cited source material.
