ABOUT
SFO Collaborative is a global trade association dedicated to advancing the single-family office (SFO) industry. Our mission is to empower leading SFOs through education collaboration, and strategic partnerships.
SFO Collaborative fosters high-trust networks promoting best practices and supporting members navigating the complexities of global markets using existing diplomatic and policy channels alongside the strength of family to family relationships, to drive cross-border co-investment opportunities.
Through curated educational events, we create an environment conducive to continuous knowledge exchange and innovation. Our structured partnership paradigm: cooperation → collaboration → co-investment serves as the foundation for unlocking opportunities, driving sustainable wealth stewardship, ensuring family legacy preservation, and supporting philanthropic missions.
Events
SFO Collaborative hosts landmark events around the world in partnership with the US Department of Commerce to encourage foreign direct investments and bilateral trade between and among large single-family-offices and global families with operating companies who are market leaders and industry experts in various countries and regions. Upcoming events will be held in Rome, Abu Dhabi, London, Zurich and Palm Beach, for trust building, sharing of best practices among global family offices on sustainable wealth stewardship and philanthropy.
Proven Success: Saudi Forums, April-May 2025
In April-May 2025, SFO Collaborative partnered with the U.S. Embassy and Department of Commerce working with Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Investment (MISA) to host three forums in Dhahran, Riyadh, and Jeddah. These events connected 25 prominent U.S. SFOs (single-family offices) heads of industry in hospitality, real estate, defense, national security, technology, healthcare, industrial & manufacturing, energy & data, chemicals & biotech with 75 prominent Saudi merchant families, including Sultan Olayan (BTG Pactual MENA), the Jamjoom family, Khalid Alfozan (Alfozan Group), Abdullah Bugshan (Abdullah Bugshan Group), Ghassan Alsulaiman (Alsulaiman Group), Saleh Alsorayai (SNASCO Holding), and Yaser bin Mahfouz (SEDCO Holding). The forums yielded two memoranda of agreement, including Shamekh LifeSciences, announced by the White House during President Trump s visit, which included a $5 Billion Dollar deal to develop a pair of intravenous fluid manufacturing plants, one in Detroit, MI and the other in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In addition, five other separate investment negotiations are currently ongoing across hospitality, power production, and technology industries. Working closely with our US Embassy diplomatic partners in various countries, these initiatives exemplify our ability to foster high trust networks, materializing into financial partnerships that drive foreign direct investment back to the U.S. and Bilateral trade. We anticipate replicating this model around the world.

- Build trust, encourage collaboration, share ideas and best practices between carefully vetted U.S. and global family offices of a particular size within identified industries.
