The Challenge
Complexity Doesn't Wait for the Right Advisor
Most Family Offices and Fund Managers outgrow generic advisory long before they find someone built for their level of complexity.
Problem
The Gap Family Offices Actually Face
Family Offices and Fund Managers are often stuck choosing between a large institution’s rigid process or a broker chasing a transaction.
Placement Agents Push Products
Most advisors profit from the transaction, not your long-term outcome.
Fragmented Advice
Capital strategy, fund positioning, and legacy planning are separate.
Scale Over Discretion
Larger firms trade Family Offices' privacy for volume.
Retainers Regardless of Fit
Many advisors request a retainer before proving their fit for your needs.
Solution
A Strategic Alliance, Not a Placement Agent
Living Waters Global brings capital strategy, fund advisory, and legacy planning together under one advisor built around your goals.
Alliance, Not Agent
We're incentivized by your outcome, not a placement commission.
One Coordinated Advisor
Integrate capital decisions, fund positioning, and legacy planning.
Built for Discretion
Every engagement handled with the privacy Family Offices and HNWIs expect.
Scoped, Not Standardized
A retainer isn't always needed; it depends on your needs.
Why Living Waters Global

Common Questions
Answers to the Questions We Hear Most
Choosing an advisor for your Family Office is a significant decision. Here are answers to the questions we hear most about our approach, our engagements, and what it’s like to work with Living Waters Global.
What sets Living Waters Global apart from other firms?
We’re a strategic alliance consultant, not a placement agent — bringing capital strategy, fund advisory, and legacy planning together into one coordinated relationship built around your goals.
Who do you work with?
Family Offices and High-Net-Worth Individuals navigating complex capital decisions, fund positioning, and legacy planning.
Do I need a retainer to start?
The intake describes a $8,000–$12,000/month retainer model, but the Fall 2027 deck describes performance-based compensation capped below 1%. These can’t both be true; needs Lauren’s confirmed answer before this question is published.
What does a typical engagement look like?
4–12 months, $8K–$12K/month vs. a performance-based structure are two different answers. Holding until confirmed.
What does "customized to scope" actually mean?
No two engagements look the same — the depth of capital strategy, fund advisory, or legacy planning work is shaped around your specific situation, not a fixed package.
How do you handle privacy?
Every engagement is handled with discretion — we don’t publish client details, and references are shared directly on request.
