What are your admission requirements?
To ensure a rich learning experience for all participants, admission to Institute programs is selective and based on whether you are a Family Office, Family Member, Family Office Executive or Industry Professional. Our objective is to have 70-80% of the classes made up of Family Offices, Family Member, or Family Office Executives.  For most programs, proficiency in written English is required, and participants must be fluent in the English language to take an active part in fast-moving discussions.

For each program, we carefully select a cross-section of family offices, family members, family office executives and industry professionals who have different backgrounds and experiences. This diversity enables participants to enhance their understanding and learning  by leveraging the experience of their peers and acquiring a new level of cultural sensitivity.
Are the programs open to participants from outside the US?
Yes. FOREI  participants can attend from anywhere in the world.
How long does it take to process my application?
