Your Family’s Legacy

Independent multi-family office advisory for families seeking considered governance, structured wealth and continuity across generations.

Welcome to Garde Capital

The architecture behind
enduring family wealth

Garde Capital is a boutique multi-family office advisory firm based in Stellenbosch. We help families of substantial wealth with structured governance, succession planning, local and cross-border interest planning, so that every part of the family’s wealth and legacy remains secure for generations.

Independent by design

Garde Capital does not manage client investments or accounting, allowing us to advise objectively without competing interests.

Cross-border capability

We serve families across more than 15 jurisdictions from our boutique office in Stellenbosch.

Founder-led advisory

Families work directly with senior advisors who understand the full context of their wealth structures.

Built beyond one generation

We structure family affairs with long-term continuity in mind, rather than short-term intervention.

Discretion rather than scale

Focused advisory that gives each family the privacy, attention and judgment their affairs require and deserve.

Areas of Expertise

The Structure
Behind Family Wealth

As family wealth expands, the structures around it often become cumbersome to manage. Trusts, companies, offshore holdings, investment arrangements, wills, shareholder agreements, and succession plans may span multiple advisors across various jurisdictions, without a coordinated view of how they affect one another.

Garde Capital exists to bring that picture together with specialised financial, tax, and legal depth, ensuring every structure supports your family’s long-term continuity.

Multi-Family
Office Coordination

We coordinate advisors, entities and structures for high-net-worth families’, creating a clear view of all their financial and corporate affairs.

Estate &
Succession Planning

We manage estates and succession planning across trusts, companies, wills and family structures to ensure that wealth transfers securely from one generation to the next.

Restructuring

We implement corporate structures that support continuity and align business interests with family succession, all while remaining as efficient as possible.
