AYU Expands Its Family Office Network With 500+ Strong Community
London, Tuesday 1st October 2024: AYU, the global private members club for investment professionals has welcomed Family Office Social (FOS), into the AYU family. Family Office Social’s community of over 500 family office professionals will be invited onto the AYU platform and to apply to join its Approved Family Office program, in a move which will strengthen both groups and improve the benefits for its global community.
AYU is a community of alternative fund and private market professionals brought together by high end events and an online platform. It is a fundraising and deal flow focused community with a carefully vetted membership, which organises regular, exclusive international events to facilitate connections. As part of this new relationship, all FOS members will be given complimentary AYU membership and access to AYU’s events, benefits and connectivity.
Founded in 2021, FOS has grown as an informal, WhatsApp-based community to now number over 500 family office members who meet regularly in international hubs including Hong Kong, Switzerland and the UAE, facilitating the exchange of ideas and investment opportunities. The FOS community will continue to run and keep members connected on a casual and conversational basis, and to organise its monthly meetings.
FOS founder Sam Nallen Copley said: “I’ve known AYU Founder Gus Morison and AYU for many years now and this tie-up is the result of some months of discussion between us. I’m delighted to be able to integrate the FOS community that we have carefully nurtured into AYU, opening up the facility for our members to join AYU and access their events, services and deal flow.”
AYU Founder Gus Morison commented: “Since 2017, AYU has established itself as a premier network for family offices and the introduction of FOS into the AYU family represents a significant milestone on that journey. As FOS members join our Approved Family Office program, they’ll add to our ever growing community and we’ll see more and bigger deals coming through, enabled by the AYU network. The timing is ideal, coming just ahead of our London Family Office Summit on the 10th of October, where over 100 family offices will be represented, including some of the early adopters from FOS – it’s shaping up to be an exciting event.”
Membership of AYU for FOS members is subject to verification and acceptance into the AYU Approved Family Office program.
