Manage your family office with MProfit

The Indian family office
A family office is an organisation that manages investments and trusts for one or many high net-worth families. Family offices are of two types: single family offices (SFOs) and multi-family offices (MFOs). While families of high net-worth individuals (HNIs) often use services provided by wealth managers and private bankers, they often utilise their own in-house teams to manage investments. India has many large family offices including Azim Premji’s PremjiInvest, N. R. Narayana Murthy’s Catamaran and the Ambani Family Office.
A large number of family-run businesses have similar investing needs as large family offices. However, they usually do not use only a single entity for wealth management, relying instead on multiple financial advisors, stock brokers and private bankers. This poses challenges to decision-makers in the family when trying to adhere to the following portfolio management best-practices:

  • Aggregation of all investment transactions from multiple disparate statements
  • Tracking of portfolio performance across financial advisors as well as at a consolidated level
  • Calculation of capital gains for stocks, bonds, equity mutual funds and debt mutual funds (with & without indexation)
  • Accounting, which is often done separately resulting in duplication of effort

MProfit’s integrated portfolio management and accounting solution for family offices
Having devoted considerable time and resources to understanding the investment management challenges faced by Indian families, MProfit has perfected an integrated solution that addresses each challenge. Ever since we launched MProfit, the Indian family office has been central to our software and we now have many marquee family offices and family-run businesses as clients.
MProfit’s primary value-add is our grouping feature that allows users to aggregate portfolios across various entities/individuals into a single group view.
