About The Tiny Family Office
Welcome to what might genuinely be the smallest (and poorest) family office in the world.
This is not a billion-dollar endowment fund. It is my own capital managed with one simple ambition: compound it steadily over decades.
Why I Do This
I was fortunate in life. I received wealth through a family business, which allowed me to invest the way I do. I also built a well-paying career, but I do not enjoy it as much as I used to. What I truly enjoy is investing.
So I decided to combine two goals:
Share openly how I allocate capital and manage a multi-asset portfolio with a long-term, endowment-style approach.
Build something meaningful that could allow me to focus full-time on reading, researching and investing.
Writing this publication forces clarity, improves my decision-making, and (hopefully) offers insights that go far deeper than the usual retail finance content.
Philosophy
At the heart of The Tiny Family Office is capital preservation and compounding. I invest with a multi-decade horizon, prioritizing resilience and durability over short-term excitement.
Guiding principles:
Anchor the portfolio in broad global equity exposure.
Add carefully chosen individual companies with strong moats, recurring revenues, and aligned management / ownership.
Diversify with uncorrelated assets (alternative assets) like hedge funds, bond-type-investments and gold.
Always think like an entrepreneur-owner, inspired by investors like Warren Buffett, Chris Hohn, Terry Smith, Tom Russo, and David Swensen.
I don’t invest in private equity.
Who This Is For
This publication is for people who take investing seriously, whether they manage €10,000 or €10 million.
Private investors who want a family-office mindset.
High-income professionals seeking a trustworthy framework.
Portfolio managers, analysts, and active allocators looking for differentiated thinking.
Independent thinkers who value high-quality curation.
Students of investing who want to actually learn the craft.
If you value depth, precision, and intellectual honesty, you’ll feel at home here.

Final Word
The Tiny Family Office may be small, but the ambition is not. This project is about long-term thinking, rational allocation, and building something that lasts.
If that resonates with you, I’m glad you’re here.
