The Ten Domains of Family Wealth, Part 1: Family-Advisory Relationships

In this 10-part series, we explore the Ten Domains of Family Wealth, a comprehensive framework for understanding the issues facing wealthy families conceived by the Ultra High Net Worth Institute, headquartered in New York City. In this inaugural edition, we focus on the Family-Advisory Relationships (FAR) Domain.

“The Ten Domains of Family Wealth are about client needs; they’re not about the client and they’re certainly not about service offerings,” says Tom McCullough, a partner with Corient in Toronto who also serves as managing director of thought leadership and strategy with the UHNW Institute.

As the Domains have been adjusted over time, what was originally called the “Advisor-Client Relationship” evolved into its current incarnation. “It seems like a small change, but I think it reflects the deep thinking of the institute as we learn together,” McCullough says.

Why family offices should care about fraud

Fraud–and investment fraud in particular–is one of the fastest-growing crimes in Canada. Data from the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) shows that between 2022 and 2025, Canadians lost more than $2.4 billion to scammers. In 2025 alone, Canadians lost $704 million, up more than 300 per cent from 2020. But with only between five per cent and 10 per cent of frauds reported, these losses represent a fraction of the impact.

In its 2024 Family Office Cybersecurity Report, meanwhile, Deloitte found that 43 per cent of family offices globally had experienced a cyberattack. This increased to 57 per cent for family offices in North America, and 62 per cent for family offices with more than US$1B in assets under management.
