SFO
SFO was established as the single-family office for the Schütz family. Alexander Schütz serves as principal and previously founded C-Quadrat. The office focuses on long-term wealth preservation through a mix of direct investments, fund commitments and strategic partnerships. The firm deploys capital across real estate, private equity, private credit, infrastructure, hedge funds and digital assets. It participates in early-stage, growth, late-stage and seed opportunities. Confirmed positions include the Nayak-LM aircraft services portfolio and a mixed-use real estate portfolio in Munich and Vienna. Geographies span Europe, North America, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, South America, the Caribbean and Oceania. Co-investors have included Chequers Capital on the Nayak-LM transaction. The office maintains a team drawn from more than ten nationalities. Additional offices operate in London, Miami, Dubai and Seoul. SFO participates in the SFO Alliance peer network. A dated operational event from the last 24 months is not recorded in available sources. SFO maintains separation between its investment activities and the C-Quadrat foundation programs. This structure allows the family to pursue both commercial returns and mission-related initiatives without commingling mandates.
