DAG Family Office
The wealth management layer above your existing advisors
For families and family offices managing complex wealth across digital and traditional assets. DAG coordinates the wealth management infrastructure underneath the household balance sheet.
Section 01
Wealth management at this level is about what connects the pieces
A family at this tier is rarely short on advisors. A CPA who has handled the family's taxes for fifteen years. An estate attorney who drafted the trust. A wealth manager. An insurance broker, a banker, perhaps a private credit relationship and a real estate operator. Every professional in the picture is competent at their piece.
The harder question is whether those pieces talk to each other.
Family office wealth management is the coordination layer above the existing professionals. Not a replacement for any of them. The point is to make every financial decision land in a system where the others see it, react to it, and adjust their own work accordingly.
CPAs aren't blindsided
Transactions don't surface after the fact.
Estate documents match reality
Account titling and beneficiary designations align with the trust.
Allocation accounts for everything
Including assets held outside the brokerage.
Insurance matches actual risk
Including the digital asset exposure brokers often skip.
The next generation hears it
Structured, not from a lawyer in a conference room after a funeral.
The structure outlives the principals
Designed for continuity, not personality.
Section 02
The three pillars
01. Risk management
Identify what could go wrong and address it before it happens. Concentration risk, single-position exposure, custody risk, key-person risk, succession risk, all reviewed against the actual exposure. Insurance limits, entity titling, custody arrangements, signing protocols, documentation that survives a death.
02. Legacy planning
Figure out what happens after the founders are gone. The documents matter. The conversations matter more. Formal trust and estate work (through DAG Private Client or existing counsel), next-generation education, family governance, and the documented intent the documents themselves can't fully capture.
03. Adaptive strategy
Your financial plan should change when your life does. Liquidity events, generational transitions, regulatory shifts, market regimes; the structure is designed to adapt without rebuilding. Annual policy reviews, quarterly portfolio coordination, ad hoc engagement on triggering events.
Wealth management at this level is about what connects the pieces.
Section 03
Who family office wealth management is built for
The shared characteristic is not asset class. It is complexity. Family office wealth management exists for situations where the coordination problem is the actual problem.
Founders and entrepreneurs.
Post-exit or pre-exit. The wealth management problem changes substantially when the operating business converts to a liquid position.
C-suite executives.
Equity compensation, deferred comp, concentrated positions in employer stock, and the planning that has to happen before and after major equity events.
Professional athletes and entertainers.
Income concentrated in a short career window with multi-decade financial implications.
Venture capitalists and private investors.
K-1 income, carried interest, illiquid positions, and basis tracking across multiple fund cycles.
Ultra-high-net-worth families.
Multi-generational structures already in place, with infrastructure that needs to integrate digital assets and modern coordination.
Families with meaningful digital asset exposure.
Where existing advisors handle the traditional side competently but lack the crypto-specific operational and structural capability.
Section 04
What gets coordinated, in plain terms
Investment
Allocation policy, rebalancing, risk monitoring, alternatives evaluation, retirement and trust account integration. Through DAG Wealth.
Tax
Year-round tax planning coordinated with the family's CPA. Specific positions taken by qualified tax counsel.
Estate
Trust documents, asset titling, beneficiary designations, governance documents, and the funding work that connects documents to actual accounts.
Risk
Insurance limits, custody arrangements, signing protocols, business continuity, key-person planning.
Reporting
Consolidated reporting across custodians, entities, and asset classes. Quarterly reviews. Annual state-of-the-family document.
Philanthropy
DAFs, private foundations, CRTs, CLTs, and direct charitable gifts coordinated with the rest of the planning.
Custody
Institutional custody providers for digital assets, traditional institutional custodians for the rest. Independent of DAG's reporting layer.
Governance
Family meetings, decision protocols, next-generation involvement, and the documented intent that survives the founders.
One engagement, three layers
- DAG: coordination, client team, governance, family office services
- DAG Wealth: investment advisory, fiduciary under SEC registration
- DAG Private Client: entity formation, trusts, crypto tax coordination
One client team. Three operating layers. The family sees one engagement.

The advisors are competent. The accounts exist. The question is whether they are working together.
Family office wealth management is the answer to that question for families above the $20 million tier.
