Intentionality
Connoisseurship is a discipline of time. We hold back from a decision until we have understood the thing in front of us.
Private wealth, considered as carefully as the future it preserves
Zantara Group is a multi-family office working out of Cambridge. We look after individuals and families whose wealth spans the globe and whose holdings extend well beyond the financial. Our work is arranged around the whole of what you own and is structured for those who wish to invest in their future.

Investments. Where our clients' capital goes
Alongside conventional portfolios, we source direct opportunities in the fields we know best. Some recent areas of focus:
- Heritage-led regeneration and mixed-use cultural property
- Design and craft businesses at the point of generational handover
- Art-backed credit, arranged with lenders who understand the security
- Galleries, fairs and specialist trade platforms
- Studio and maker space in cities where rents have pushed practitioners out
Philanthropy. For creatively minded individuals that want to do good
We are developing a philanthropic venture centred on the meeting point of architecture and art: a worldwide network of creative hubs where artists, architects, curators and cultural practitioners work in the same rooms. The premise is straightforward enough. Buildings record what a society has been. More importantly, they shape who its people understand themselves to be.
For families who want their giving to do something similar, we help design and run the vehicle that makes it possible.
Values
Specificity
No two families sit on the same ground. We fit the advice to the situation rather than adapting the situation to a house model, and we would rather admit a proposal does not suit you than sell it anyway.
Honesty
We say the unwelcome thing early, while it can still be acted on. Advice that cannot take weight is decoration, and a family that only hears agreement is not being advised at all.
Craft
We admire work done well for its own sake, whether that is an oil painting or a trust deed. The same standard applies to everything that leaves this firm.
