Family Office Conversations with Fexingo: Wealth Management, Inheritance, and Generational Capital

In this episode of Family Office Conversations with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how multi-generational family offices are increasingly allocating capital to carbon credits—both as a hedge against regulatory risk and as a return-generating asset class. They break down the difference between compliance and voluntary markets, the role of third-party verifiers like Verra and Gold Standard, and why some family offices are buying carbon credits directly from project developers rather than through funds. Lucas shares a specific case: a European family office that committed $25 million to a reforestation project in Panama, locking in credits at $12 per ton with a 10-year offtake agreement. They also discuss the controversy around additionality and double counting, and how family offices are using credit purchases to offset their own portfolio emissions. The episode closes with a candid acknowledgment that listener support via buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo makes the show possible.

Episode 21 of Family Office Conversations dives into a trend that's quietly reshaping exit strategies: family offices using SPACs as a liquidity route for their private equity stakes. Lucas and Luna examine a specific case — a mid-market family office that took its portfolio company public via a SPAC merger in early 2026, generating a 4.2x return while retaining a significant ongoing stake. They unpack the mechanics, the risks, and why some family offices prefer this route over traditional IPOs or trade sales. The conversation covers SPAC structure, redemption risks, PIPE financing, and the changing regulatory landscape under the SEC's 2025 SPAC rules. No hype — just a clear-eyed look at when this tool makes sense for family offices with patient capital and concentrated holdings.

Episode 20 of Family Office Conversations: Lucas and Luna explore how single-family offices are allocating capital to fine wine as an alternative asset. They examine the Liv-ex Fine Wine 1000 index, which has returned 13.8% annually over the past decade with low correlation to equities. The hosts discuss storage costs, liquidity challenges, and how a $200 million family office in Geneva uses Bordeaux and Burgundy as a portfolio hedge. They also touch on the rise of wine-backed loans and the 2025 vintage outlook. A practical look at an asset class that combines passion with performance.

Family offices are increasingly turning to the life settlements market, buying existing life insurance policies from policyholders who no longer need them. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explain how this works, using the example of a 72-year-old policyholder selling a $5 million policy for $800,000, and how a family office might earn a 12% annualized return by paying premiums until the policy matures. They discuss the role of third-party administrators, regulatory considerations, and why this asset class appeals to multi-generational capital seeking low-correlation returns. A concrete look at an alternative investment that most wealth managers overlook.

In this episode of Family Office Conversations with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore captive insurance — a strategy where family offices create their own insurance companies to cover risks like property, liability, and employee benefits. Lucas breaks down a real-world example: a $500 million single-family office that saved 30% on premiums by forming a captive in Vermont. They discuss the mechanics, including fronting policies, reserve requirements, and the role of third-party administrators. Luna asks about the pitfalls — from regulatory costs to the risk of underestimated claims. Lucas explains why captives work best for families with predictable loss histories and at least $50 million in liquid assets. The episode also touches on the 2026 trend: more family offices using captives to invest premiums in alternative assets like private credit and real estate. A concise guide to a powerful but niche tool in the family office toolkit.

Episode 17 of Family Office Conversations with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna drill into how sophisticated family offices are deploying tax-loss harvesting strategies in the current 2026 market environment — not just for equities, but for private holdings, crypto, and concentrated stock positions. They break down a real example: a single-family office that saved $4.2 million in capital gains taxes last year by pairing losses from a failed venture investment with gains from a real estate sale. They also discuss the mechanics of direct indexing, the risks of wash-sale rules in crypto, and why some offices are now using AI-driven software to identify harvesting opportunities in real time. No fluff, one focused angle: tax-loss harvesting as a year-round strategy, not a December afterthought.

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore a quiet but powerful asset class favored by multi-generational family offices: mineral and royalty rights. They break down how families in Texas, Oklahoma, and the Permian Basin have structured ownership of oil and gas royalties to generate decades of tax-advantaged income without operational headaches. Lucas explains the difference between mineral rights and royalty interests, the surprising resilience of cash flows even during the 2020 downturn, and why these assets have become increasingly institutionalized through publicly traded royalty trusts and private consolidation vehicles. Luna pushes back on the environmental question, asking how family offices reconcile carbon exposure with long-term capital preservation. They also discuss the tax mechanics—how the 15 percent depletion allowance works, and why stepped-up basis at death makes royalties a powerful estate planning tool. The conversation closes with a look at emerging trends like the Permian's continued productivity and the growing appetite for Delaware statutory trust structures among second-generation wealth holders. This is a grounded, numbers-first look at a corner of private wealth that rarely makes headlines.

In this episode of Family Office Conversations with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore the growing trend of litigation finance as an alternative asset class for single-family offices. They break down how a New York-based family office deployed $25 million across a portfolio of commercial lawsuits, targeting net returns of 14-18 percent annually over a three-year horizon. The hosts discuss the mechanics of third-party funding, the risk-return profile compared to private equity and venture capital, and the due diligence required to avoid conflicts of interest and ethical pitfalls. They examine a real-world case: a $50 million patent-infringement claim funded by a consortium of family offices that settled for $37 million after 18 months. Lucas explains why litigation finance offers uncorrelated returns tied to legal outcomes, not market cycles, and why the space has attracted over $15 billion in institutional capital globally as of early 2026. Luna raises concerns about concentration risk, the illiquidity of a single case, and the reputational sensitivity of being linked to aggressive lawsuits. The episode closes with practical advice for families considering their first allocation: start with a fund-of-funds or a specialist manager with a proven track record, and never commit more than five percent of the portfolio to this asset class.

Lucas and Luna explore how sophisticated family offices have overhauled their cash management since the era of near-zero interest rates. They focus on the case of a multi-billion-dollar single family office that built an internal treasury desk to actively manage cash and short-duration fixed income, earning an incremental two percent yield on their liquidity portfolio. The hosts break down the specific tools—T-bill ladders, repo agreements, corporate commercial paper—and contrast this approach with the old model of leaving cash in a bank sweep account. They also discuss when it makes sense for a family office to insource vs outsource treasury management, and why even smaller family offices are now paying attention to cash as a strategic asset rather than a residual. The episode avoids generic advice and drills into one concrete transformation underway across private wealth in 2026.

In this episode of Family Office Conversations with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore the growing trend of family offices investing in music royalties as an alternative asset class. They focus on the case of Hipgnosis Songs Fund, which was acquired in a $1.6 billion deal in 2024, and discuss how royalty streams offer uncorrelated returns and inflation protection. The hosts break down the mechanics of royalty investing—catalog valuation based on net publisher's share, the role of streaming growth, and the illiquidity premium. They also touch on risks like changing consumer habits and the concentration of hit-driven catalogs. By the end, listeners will understand why music royalties are becoming a staple in sophisticated portfolio allocations, and what due diligence matters most for family offices considering this asset class.
