THE HISTORY OF
CANTILEVER FAMILY

Cantilever Family was founded in 2014.  Our mission was to set up a Multi-Family Office that is truly independent – from financial institutions, trust companies, banks and asset managers.

The business was molded based on input from, and the needs of, our clients.   The main emphasis has always been to provide highly efficient, value-add services to each of our clients.  We value trust and integrity and focus on providing advice and services that are first and foremost in our clients’ best interests.

By focussing on the values of independence, efficiency and diligence, Cantilever’s management has built and developed the business into a Multi-Family Office that is respected and favoured by global service providers and that services prominent South African and International families.
