SAF & Co Family Office
SAF & Co Family Office was established in 2007 by brothers Mauricio and Alberto Safdié, whose family built Banque Safdié into a Geneva institution with more than $7 billion in client assets. Rather than continuing within a regulated banking structure, the Safdié brothers shifted their advisory capacity and personal capital into a multi-family office, offering the same global investment access they had cultivated over three decades to a concentrated group of wealthy families. The wealth originates from the Safdié family's private banking and asset-management operations across Brazil and Switzerland. The firm pursues an unusually broad mandate for a European multi-family office. Its deployment spans private equity, venture capital, private credit, real estate, hedge funds, commodities, natural resources, and digital assets. Stage coverage runs from seed through buyout, and the geographic footprint reaches North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. The Safdié network, anchored in former Banque Safdié relationships, generates deal flow for direct co-investments alongside external GPs and dedicated fund commitments. Sector priorities include FinTech, ClimateTech, AgriTech & FoodTech, Energy Transition & Renewables, Digital Health, Supply Chain & Logistics, Mobility & Transportation, Healthcare Services, Circular Economy, SpaceTech, and Industrial Tech. Total deployment and headcount are not publicly disclosed. The Geneva headquarters serves as the single office. Marc Hauser, an investment committee member, also serves as Vice President of the Swiss Association of Wealth Managers (VSV-ASG), providing a direct line into Swiss regulatory and industry developments. Investment committee member Vinicius Geromel is active in the SMAT Alternative Investments Network. The firm maintains dedicated philanthropic commitments through the Jerusalem Foundation and SOS Mata Atlântica. SAF & Co operates without a regulated banking license today, yet retains the custody-account-opening support, consolidated reporting, and open-architecture access associated with its private-banking heritage. That dual identity — a family office that behaves like a private bank for deal sourcing and portfolio construction — gives the firm a structural posture that few pure family offices can replicate.
