Schneider Family Office
Schneider Family Office was established in 2014 by Andrew Schneider to preserve multigenerational capital generated through his career in hedge fund research, advisory, and wealth management. The firm is headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida — a corridor that has absorbed significant wealth migration — and is embedded within a wider membership network, Family Office Networks (FON), which connects single and multi-family offices for deal sharing, luxury consumption, and philanthropy. The office deploys capital across a deliberately wide aperture: hedge funds, private equity, real estate, private credit, infrastructure, and direct co-investments. Confirmed sector interests include energy transition, fintech, healthcare services, cannabis, and supply chain logistics (per Altss research). It also maintains dedicated portfolios for digital assets, luxury collectibles — including an art collection and an Azimut Yachts portfolio — and industrial and infrastructure assets spanning North America, Europe, and Asia. The deployment model leans heavily on co-investment and SPV structures facilitated through the FON network, which operates as a marketplace for family offices to access private deals and service providers. The office maintains a lean disclosed team, with Schneider serving as the visible principal. Key business relationships extend the office's reach into adjacent networks: David Goodboy, founder of the Palm Beach Hedge Fund Association; James C. Row, managing director of the Houston Family Office Network; Federico Ferrante, president of Azimut-Benetti USA; and Arthur Bavelas, founder of Family Office Insights. Schneider also holds a director position at the Hedge Fund Association and oversees the Palm Beach Investment Club. The firm's philanthropic posture includes support for orthomolecular treatment and engagement with the American Heart Association. Schneider Family Office's structural identity is defined by its dual nature: it is a single-family office managing proprietary capital, but it operates through a commercial network (Family Office Networks) that aggressively markets deal-flow access, luxury goods, and events to other families and capital providers. This hybrid posture — an operating business on one side, an investment office on the other — creates a sourcing model that is uncommon among traditional single-family offices, blending self-dealing with an external marketplace that draws deal flow from hundreds of participating families and asset managers.

Frequently asked questions
How is the Schneider Family Office structured relative to Family Office Networks?
The Schneider Family Office is the proprietary investment vehicle for Andrew Schneider, while Family Office Networks (FON) is a separate commercial platform that connects family offices, asset managers, and luxury service providers. Schneider operates both entities, but the family office is the end allocator of Schneider's own capital, whereas FON functions as a marketplace and membership network. This structure means the family office can syndicate deals and source opportunities directly from FON's member families.
Does the office invest directly or through funds?
Both. The office allocates to hedge funds and private equity funds via fund-of-funds commitments and also pursues direct co-investments and SPV-based deals. Confirmed deal types in the Altss research record include direct co-investments, fund commitments, private credit, and infrastructure. The direct activity is often executed alongside other families within the Family Office Networks ecosystem.
What sectors does the office explicitly target?
Confirmed sector focuses include energy transition and renewables, fintech, healthcare services, cannabis and psychedelics, and supply chain and logistics (per Altss research). Technology interests include AI/ML, cybersecurity, and Web3/blockchain. The office also holds dedicated portfolios in real estate, luxury collectibles, aviation assets, and yachts.
Who makes the investment decisions?
Andrew Schneider is the founder and visible principal. The firm has not publicly disclosed a CIO or investment committee structure beyond Schneider. Key business relationships — including the managing director of the Houston Family Office Network and the founder of the Palm Beach Hedge Fund Association — suggest an informal network of advisors rather than a disclosed internal investment team.
What is the source of the family's wealth?
The underlying wealth is attributed to Andrew Schneider's career in hedge fund research, advisory, and wealth management, not to an operating company sale or inheritance (per Altss research). The family office was established in 2014 to preserve and deploy that capital on a multigenerational basis.
Does the office maintain philanthropic structures?
The firm's disclosed philanthropic activity includes support for orthomolecular treatment and engagement with the American Heart Association. Donations appear to flow directly through the family office rather than via a named separate foundation, based on available disclosures. The FON platform also markets philanthropic opportunities to its member families.
How does the office source its deal flow?
Deal flow is sourced primarily through the Family Office Networks marketplace, which connects member families, asset managers, and service providers for co-investments and private transactions. Schneider also holds a director role at the Hedge Fund Association and runs the Palm Beach Investment Club, both of which function as additional sourcing pipelines for fund commitments and direct deals.
