About
Redefining the family office
Promoting well-being to unleash potential.
When it came to his family and colleagues, Sam showed endless loyalty and support. We keep that legacy alive by reimagining what a family office can be — offering guidance and services focused on overall well-being and the five types of family capital.
But this goes beyond a single family. Enhancing well-being is how all families and communities can thrive, and we’re eager to collaborate with other family offices to make that happen together.
The services we offer
Finances are important, and we look after our investment portfolio with excellence and unmatched expertise. But our idea of “greatness” goes way beyond finances, so our services do too.

Our founder’s storied career
Over a 60-year career, Sam built an empire of companies that created thousands of jobs. He built a reputation that was just as big — for seeing around corners, staying loyal, always learning and changing, and simply loving what he did. We strive every day to follow Sam’s lead.
As you might have gathered, Sam had a big personality and held firm beliefs. The values that drove his success — and earned him immense respect — are now ours to uphold.

Self-Awareness
We are committed to having a comprehensive understanding of our present condition, including our mental, emotional, physical, and financial dimensions.
Connection
We seek to deeply understand one another’s motivations, problems to solve and opportunities to capture. This close bond is the force that strengthens our unity over time, it is our multiplier.
Loyalty
For us, relationships are everything.
Making an impact matters to the Zell family, and it’s more than a phrase — it’s something we deeply mean. We commit to philanthropic ventures that benefit from our guidance, leadership and investment.
