Australian Family Office Sector – Review 2011 January 2012. Welcome to the Family Office Connect, (FOC), annual review. FOC is a specialist research group on the family office sector in Australia and now, in collaboration with The Table Club, www.thetableclub.com , provides insights on the global family office landscape. Introduction Our review looks at the entire Australian family office sector and estimates there are some 350 Single Family Offices, (SFOs), with a total wealth of $226 billion as at December 2011. The range in wealth is $10.3 billion to $100 million. Most of our analysis focuses on SFOs with total wealth exceeding $200 million which is a universe of 250. FOC has been researching the family office sector in Australia, since early 2009 and now covers some 109 SFOs and Multi Family Offices, (MFOs). This coverage includes 92% of the top 50 SFOs by number and 90% by value of $116 billion. Extending to the Top 100 SFOs, the coverage by number is 65% and by value it is 80% or $129 billion of the universe of $162 billion. Our plan for 2012 is to extend the research to cover more of the Top 100 SFOs as well as those SFOs in the Top 250 where we feel there is a desire to outsource parts of their wealth to investment management firms. Confidentiality FOC has excellent relationships with many of the top SFOs and at all times respects the confidentiality of information gained through these relationships. The sources of information are from public available information and any confidential information is excluded from our reports.

Data & Review Methodology FOC has composed this review of the Australian family office sector, using data from a variety of sources including proprietary research, BRW Rich 200, (May 2011), Courier Mail QLD Rich List, Western Australian Rich List, (October 2011), and various other Australian media sources. Additionally, we have compared the US market using the most recent Forbes Top 400 list, (October 2011). The composition of the sector assumes that each Ultra High Net Worth, (UHNW), has a Single Family Office, (SFO). To qualify in the FOC top 350 each SFO must have gross assets > $100 million. The primary focus of the FOC research, are the SFOs and Multi Family offices, (MFOs), with gross assets > $200 million. We feel that in most cases, $200 million is the minimum required to establish a family office with adequate resources. These resources are either dedicated just for the SFO or may be shared with operational businesses. In the SFO range of 251 to 350, FOC currently researches 8 of these across Australia, this may increase slightly in 2012, however, the prime focus shall be on larger SFOs. For the purposes of avoiding double counting, we have not included the MFOs in our sector analysis. We will however make some reference to the MFOs later in this report. Table 4 below, shows a list of SFOs in detail for the top 250, and then an additional 8 SFOs ranging in wealth from $200 million to $150 million. To estimate the balance of the SFOs/UHNW’s to the top 350, we have assumed an average wealth of $125 million based on the range of the balance of SFOs as $150 million to $100 million. Two of the SFO groups have been consolidated for this report. These are Smorgon, (shown as 8 separate SFOs in FOC), and Liberman, (shown as 4 in FOC). Our rationale for the data inclusion was to ensure all BRW Rich 200 individuals and families were included as well as FOC SFOs that are not included in BRW, (Table 4). The wealth numbers are principally those quoted in the various “Rich Lists”. In some cases, FOC has changed those wealth figures to an estimate that we feel is more representative of the actual wealth of that SFO. We find the “Rich List” numbers are quite often less than the actual as the families are very private and often hold assets via trust structures.

Size of the Family Office Market in Australia The top 250 family offices in Australia now account for $213 billion. This is an increase of $11 billion from June 2011 or 5.4%. Table 1 below shows the respective market sizes for the Top 20, 50, 100 through to the Top 350 SFOs. Table 1: SFO size analysis by ranges.
* Calculation not done.
To put the Australian market into an international perspective, we are still smaller than well established Family Office markets such as the USA, Europe and parts of Asia, however the resources boom should continue to fuel growth in the wealth of Australian families and UHNWs. The recent Forbes Top 400 rich list had US$1.0 billion as the cut off. The average wealth was US$3.8 billion for a total universe of US$1,520 billion. In Australia, we have 45 billionaires with average wealth of $2.73 billion and total wealth of $123 billion. Geographic Location of SFOs There has often been the impression that Melbourne had the majority of the family office money. This was certainly true in terms of our largest companies and their head quarters such as mining houses BHP and Rio Tinto, who were substantially started in Melbourne with old money backing by families like the Baillieu Family. When we look at Table 2 below, we see that the wealth of SFOs for the Top 250 in Sydney and Melbourne is quite similar in $value at $63.89 billion and $62.64 billion. Where there is some difference, is the numbers of SFOs. If you adjust these for our consolidation of the Liberman and Smorgon families as mentioned above, then we would add an additional 10 to the Melbourne numbers, making 76 in total. We have also classified the Grollo family as 1, when they are 2, and the Besen family as 1 in our numbers when you could have them as 5 as each sibling has their own sub family office and also a share with their parents, (1st generation Marc and Eva Besen), in some core assets.

The resources boom in Australia has seen considerable increases in the wealth of many of our SFOs, in particular those in Queensland, 13% of the $ value of the Top 250 SFOs and 41 in number or 16%. For WA, the $value is even higher at 17% and 12% by number. Table 2: Top 250 SFOs – by State State # SFOs $ bil FOC # FOC $ % FOC $bil WA 30 36.42 14 85.0% 31.08 VIC 66 62.64 24 71.8% 44.96 TAS 3 1.08 0 0 0 SA 9 3.50 3 47.4% 1.66 QLD 41 27.78 10 52.5% 14.59 O/seas 15 17.48 3 19.19% 3.35 NSW 85 63.89 31 62.06 39.65 ACT 1 .93 1 100% .93 FOC Coverage As at December 2011, the latest update of client research had 109 SFOs and MFOs covered. Of this, 106 were SFOs and 5 were MFOs. The double counting was due to both the Myer and Baillieu families also having MFOs. In our numbers on the size of the market we have only shown the Myer family at $2.01 billion when the combined MFO has approximately $4 billion in funds under administration. The Baillieu family, are listed at $495 million when total funds under administration of Mutual Trust are approximately $1.5 billion. Table 2 above, is an analysis of the Top 250 SFOs. The last three columns show FOC coverage with 86/250 by number. The next column shows the percentage coverage by state, and the last column the $ value by state. The 86 SFOs that FOC have researched as at December 2011, represent 64% by $ value of the Top 250 and $136.22 billion of the $213.68 billion universe. By numbers, the coverage is certainly concentrated with the larger SFOs. Of the Top 250 the FOC by number coverage is 34%, (86 of 250). The growth of the SFOs in the WA and Qld markets has been a focus of FOC in the second half of 2011, and now includes 24 SFOs for a wealth value of $55.67 billion. We anticipate expanding the coverage of these two markets.

Generational Dynamics The Australian Family Office sector is largely still controlled by the 1st and 2nd generations. When we look at the top 50 SFOs by wealth, the concentration is quite dramatic, see Table 3. For the purposes of this analysis, on generational control, we have looked to the Head of the Family Office in terms of which generation they are in the wealth creation phase. Where the 1st generation is still alive but have stepped back from day to day running, we have classified the next generation as the head. As an example, Sam Alter is the head of the Alter Family Office, (Albany), whilst his father, Maurice is still listed by BRW as the head. We have Sam as a 2nd generation for this analysis. Where the 3rd generation or older is running the family office, examples such as Myer, Fairfax, Smorgon and Albert families, we have classified as > 2nd, so that we have three categories in our table below. We also looked at the Top 50 SFO heads currently over 70 years of age and feel that there will be a further change to “the next gen” over the next few years, which will ultimately lead to further diversification of investments away from the core wealth as greater focus is on preservation than creation. There are 14 of the Top 50 SFO heads who are 1st generation and over 70 years of age, (average age 77.8 years). The split of the Top 20 has 60% of the SFO heads as 1st generation and of these, 6 are over 70 with an average age of 80.2 years. In the next group of 21 to 50 SFOs, we have 25 who are 1st generation or 83.3% with 7, (23%), over 70 years of age and an average of 76.3 years. FOC does note that some of these 1st generation SFO heads have clear succession plans in place, with either sons or daughters in CEO type roles within the SFO. The current head has typically moved to a Chairman position, allowing the son or daughter to assume a lot more day to day responsibility. Examples here in the top 50 SFOs include:
• Lowy • Fox • Oatley • Sarich
We have also seen some early allocations of capital to beneficiaries, to allow each sibling to develop their own sub family offices, such as the Besen, Lew, Pratt, Myer, Fairfax, Roberts and Kahlbetzer families.

FOC believes that this diversification shall be achieved through building of internal investment experience as well as out sourcing to investment managers in areas that the SFOs feel they lack the skill set or resources. A good example of this trend is the increased outsourcing to hedge funds and in particular international hedge funds. Table 3: Generational Control – Top 50 SFOs

Multi Family Offices & Wealth Management Groups Multi Family Offices, (MFOs), are a common grouping in the USA, but not many as yet in Australia. FOC have a total of 5 MFOs that we research:
• Myer Family Company • Mutual Trust • GGB Wealth Care • EWM • Caerus Capital
The first two are large SFOs, Myer and Baillieu families of Melbourne, that manage the wealth of a number of smaller families. In the case of Myer Family Company, they administer some 60 -‐ 70 additional families to the 10 or so Myer family members. These additional assets, to the Myer Family wealth, are approximately $2 billion or $28 -‐ $33 million on average. This seems to be consistent with our earlier assumptions on the size of family wealth required to establish an SFO which we feel is closer to $200 million than $100 million. The other MFOs that FOC currently research, are state based offering services to families that either outsource parts of their wealth management, i.e. Caerus Capital, a Perth based group headed by Chris Michael, which manages part of the wealth of the Paspaley and Harmanis families, and most recently another family. Both the Paspaley and Harmanis families are researched separately by FOC with respective wealth of $540 million and $544 million.

GGB Wealth Care, are a Sydney based MFO managing wealth for approximately 5 -‐ 10 families with wealth typically from $30 million to $300 million, although there is not a size constraint as a family may allocate just a component of their wealth. GGB have a full discretionary model of managing approximately 50% of the investments internally and outsourcing to sector specialists for the balance. Lastly, EWM is a Brisbane based MFO managing approximately 10 families with wealth exceeding $20 million per family. EWM is headed by Brad Scott and use largely an outsourced model of investment specialists. We note that various wealth management platforms, such as UBS, MSSB, Citigroup and the Australian Private Banks such as NAB, Westpac, ANZ, Commonwealth and Macquarie, tend to service families with wealth < $100 million. Quite often they have strong banking relationships as well as securities services that the larger family offices may use, that have internal investment teams. The wealth platforms usually have a definition of UHNW as those with wealth, (excluding the family home), > $10 million. FOC feels that most of the clients of these wealth platforms fall out side the Top 250 SFOs as per our Table 4 below, however, there well may be a number in the Top 250 to Top 350, ($200 million to $100 million group).

Strategic asset allocation & position of family offices in Australia The earlier analysis in this review on the early generational concentration of SFOs in Australia to 1st and 2nd generation, Table 3, showed that the Top 50 SFOs were 74% controlled by 1st generation or the wealth accumulators. In fact, we discussed that the concentration was even higher in the next range of SFOs with wealth from $2.1 billion to $933 million. Extending the analysis to the next 50 SFOs or $910 million to $550 million, the concentration of new wealth gets even bigger at 88% as 1st generation SFO heads, a further 10% as 2nd generation. This tends to suggest that a large number of our SFOs will continue to be wealth accumulators as they strive to build a bigger legacy to hand to the next generation. 2011 was not a good investment year for markets and fund managers. The Australian All Ordinaries Index ended the year -‐ 14%, this compared with the Dow Jones -‐ 6.2% and the MSCI -‐8%. We also note that most hedge funds had single figure negative returns for 2011. It was not surprising that our Australian family offices have sat on the sidelines through much of 2011 and have even cashed up in some areas through liquidity events, (Fairfax, Gandel and Maloney as examples). The FOC estimate of Top 100 SFO cash positions is 20% as at December 2011. This is approximately $16 billion of fire power. In discussions with many of the SFOs, their cash position is high for two reasons;
• Firstly, the uncertainty of Europe is not rewarding in listed markets compared to the Australian risk free rate. Most large SFOs are getting 5.5% on their cash.
• Secondly, liquidity is very powerful to take up opportunities. There are a
number of SFOs who are waiting for the buying opportunities that are likely to flow from the eventual restructuring in Europe, particularly debt. They are also seeing opportunities in the US. If you couple these events with the strength in the AUD then medium to longer term 2012 should present some very good opportunities to cash up families.
Table 4 below shows the SFO sector by descending wealth size down to the Top 258 SFOs and an estimate of the balance of the Top 350 to arrive at a universe size of $226 billion. We have also added a column for the Top 50 SFOs on which generation is the SFO head. Lastly, the column titled, “FOC covered Dec – 11”, shows whether FOC has researched the respective SFO and included in the December 2011 client update.

Our last table of this review, Table 5, looks at the location of the Top 250 SFOs in Australia. We have discussed much of the issues pertaining to this data earlier in this review and also summarized earlier in this review in Table 2. One aspect that was not touched on was some of the international based SFOs of Australian origin, (shown as OS in our table). The largest, Ivan Glasenberg at $8.8 billion, is only a new entry to the Rich Lists after the listing of Glencore. Ivan has lived in Switzerland for 20 years is the CEO of Glencore. Others on the list as “OS” are either domiciled where their respective jobs/businesses are, such as hedge fund managers Michael Hintze and Greg Coffey, or have chosen to live off shore for tax reasons or lifestyle, such as Bruce Gordon, Chris Corrigan and Reg Grundy. One of the trends of the European and some Asian family offices has been to set up offices in other parts of the world to better manage their affairs. Most recently, a number have chosen Singapore as a safe hub to cover the Asian markets, (Parly Group as a good example out of Switzerland). On the Australian family office side, we have families with investment resources on the ground in other parts of the world, (Portland House – London, Lowy – NYC, Saunders – NYC and Roberts – NYC). As more capital is deployed offshore to take up the currency strength and distressed opportunities, we see the trend to have resources offshore to continue.

The Australian & New Zealand chapter of this unique family office networking group was formed in September 2010, with a founding members group of 20 principals of leading family offices in the region. The Table Club now has members across the spectrum of the Top 250 single and multi family offices which participate in networking lunches, dinners and workshops throughout each year. The Table Club was pleased to launch its “Ten Tables” plan in 2011 with the hosting of dinners in New York and LA for family office principals. The plan is to establish ten tables in major financial centres, where family office principals shall be the founding members of each table and shall hold dinners each year where the regional chapter hosts and invites other Table Club, (ten tables), members to attend. Each event shall be kept to 20 people. Ten Tables:
• London • Hong Kong • Singapore • Delhi • Shanghai • Sydney • Brazil • New York • LA • Tokyo
