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

Lucas and Luna explore the growing trend of family offices investing in life insurance policies through the secondary market, known as life settlements. They break down how these policies are priced, why institutional capital is entering the space, and what risks family offices weigh before buying. With $5 billion in life settlement assets under management in 2025, this episode offers a concrete look at an alternative asset class that generates steady, uncorrelated returns for long-term capital.

In this episode of Family Office Conversations with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how single-family offices are navigating cryptocurrency investments in 2026. They focus on the '1% rule'—allocating roughly 1% of portfolio to crypto as a diversifier, not a speculation. Lucas references a 2025 study by Global Family Office Compass showing 62% of family offices now have some crypto exposure, up from 28% in 2022. They discuss custody solutions, tax implications, and the shift from Bitcoin-only to multi-asset strategies including Ethereum and Solana. They also touch on the rise of 'crypto-native' family offices and how traditional wealth managers are adapting. This episode avoids repeating previous topics like direct lending, impact investing, or art as an asset class, offering a grounded look at a controversial allocation.

In this episode of Family Office Conversations with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how family offices are approaching impact investing in 2026. They focus on a concrete case: the Rockefeller Family Fund's shift from fossil fuels to climate solutions, and how its 7.8% annualized return over five years challenges the myth that impact means concessionary returns. Lucas breaks down the three-tier framework family offices use—avoid harm, benefit stakeholders, contribute to solutions—and explains why single-family offices are increasingly hiring dedicated impact officers. Luna questions whether reporting standards are robust enough, and they discuss the rise of blended finance structures that allow family offices to de-risk early-stage climate tech. The episode ends with a look at how next-generation heirs are pushing for deeper impact integration, forcing offices to either adapt or risk capital flight. A must-listen for any family office principal or advisor navigating the tension between values and returns in today's market.

Episode 9 of Family Office Conversations with Fexingo explores venture debt as an alternative to equity dilution for growth-stage companies. Lucas and Luna examine how family offices use structured credit to generate 10-15 percent yields while protecting principal, anchored by the case of a single-family office that built a $300 million venture debt portfolio with a net-zero default rate through 2025. They discuss typical deal terms — warrants, interest-only periods, secured positions — and why this asset class fits the permanent capital mandate of a family office better than a traditional VC fund. The episode also covers 2026 market dynamics: rising base rates have pushed venture debt yields above 14 percent, drawing more family offices into direct lending to tech companies. No prior episodes have covered venture debt, making this a fresh angle for listeners interested in alternative credit strategies within family offices.

Lucas and Luna dive into the growing trend of family offices hiring operating partners — executives who work directly with portfolio companies to boost performance. Using the case of a single-family office that brought in a former manufacturing CEO to turn around a struggling industrial investment, they explore how this model differs from traditional PE, the typical compensation structures, and why more family offices are embracing it in 2026. They also discuss how operating partners help bridge the gap between patient family capital and operational expertise, and what it means for portfolio company management teams.

Lucas and Luna explore the rise of co-investing among family offices, using the 2024 acquisition of a majority stake in Intersport by CVC Capital Partners as a case study. They discuss why family offices increasingly bypass traditional fund structures to invest directly alongside private equity firms, how co-investing reduces fees and increases control, and the risks involved. Lucas explains the typical deal flow process, minimum check sizes, and how family offices source and evaluate these opportunities. Luna highlights the importance of having dedicated in-house investment talent to compete with institutional investors. The episode also touches on the role of co-investment platforms like iCapital and the need for proper due diligence.

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how family offices are increasingly bypassing private equity funds to do direct lending—originating and holding their own debt deals. They ground the conversation in a specific case: the $150 million direct loan a single-family office made to a mid-market manufacturing company in Q1 2026, bypassing traditional syndication. Lucas breaks down the mechanics, the typical deal size range ($10 million to $200 million), and the return profile—typically 300 to 500 basis points over SOFR plus an origination fee. Luna questions the liquidity risk and concentration concerns, prompting Lucas to explain how family offices use their permanent capital base as a structural advantage. They also discuss the rise of co-lending clubs, where four to eight family offices pool capital on a single deal, sharing due diligence costs and diversifying exposure. Lucas notes that direct lending now accounts for roughly 12 percent of all family office fixed-income allocations, up from 5 percent in 2021. The episode closes with a forward-looking question about whether this trend will continue as interest rates normalize.

In this episode of Family Office Conversations, Lucas and Luna explore the rise of private credit as a cornerstone asset class for single and multi-family offices. They anchor the discussion around the $1.7 trillion private credit market and how family offices have become major limited partners in direct lending funds, replacing traditional banks. Lucas breaks down the mechanics of private credit—floating-rate loans, senior secured structures, and the illiquidity premium—while Luna challenges the risk of growing exposure in a tightening credit cycle. They examine real-world examples like a mid-sized family office earning over 12 percent net returns from a private credit portfolio, compared to 6 percent on high-yield bonds. The hosts also discuss the trade-offs: due diligence complexity, lock-up periods, and the lack of a secondary market. By the end, listeners will understand why private credit has become the 'third leg of the stool' for wealthy families seeking yield without public market volatility, and what warning signs they should watch for as the asset class matures.

In this episode of Family Office Conversations, Lucas and Luna explore how multi-generational wealth transitions actually work—beyond the estate-planning checklists. They break down the three-bucket model: financial capital, human capital, and governance capital, using the real-world example of a German industrial family that moved $2.3 billion across three generations without fracturing. Lucas shares data from a 2025 study of 80 family offices showing that 40% of failed transfers trace back to a single root cause: the family never wrote down the reason they own wealth together. Luna pushes back on the idea that trusts and tax structures are the core challenge, arguing that identity and purpose matter more. The episode closes with a practical question every family office should ask itself today.

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore why ultra-wealthy families allocate up to 10% of their portfolios to fine art and collectibles. They unpack the 2023 Deloitte Art & Finance Report's finding that 78% of family offices now view art as a serious investment, not just a passion purchase. Lucas walks through the mechanics of art-secured lending, a $28 billion market that lets collectors unlock liquidity without selling. They discuss the Basel art market index's 10-year compound annual growth rate of 6.3%, compare it to the S&P 500, and examine the risks: illiquidity, high transaction costs, and authentication disputes. Luna asks whether fractional ownership platforms like Masterworks democratize the asset class or just add new risks. The episode closes with a forward-looking question about generational art transfers and the looming 'great wealth transfer.'
