Family offices occupy a rare structural position: enough capital to matter, enough flexibility to move without a committee. Unlike institutional allocators, they are not bound to benchmark-hugging mandates or quarterly redemption pressures, which raises a genuinely strategic question rather than a tactical one. What should a family office actually do with that freedom in public markets? The choice set is wider than it has ever been. Active or passive. Direct stock-picking or fund structures. Primary allocations or secondary opportunities. ETFs or traditional mutual funds. Each axis carries a different trade-off between cost, control, and conviction, and the right answer looks different depending on the family's time horizon, governance maturity, and appetite for concentration risk. Two questions cut to the center of this debate. First, are ETFs displacing mutual funds as the more rational vehicle, given the persistent drag of fees on long-term compounding? Second, and less discussed, is there a point at which diversification stops protecting capital and starts diluting the very insight that justified direct public market exposure in the first place? We take on both, with practitioners actively managing these allocations: - Nikhil Chandak — Chief Investment Officer, Shanghvi Family Office - Vedant Loyalka — CIO, Loyalka Family Office - Rahul Mehta — Advisor, George Kaiser Family Office - Sujay Kotak — Family Office Investments, Varun Beverages Ltd. (RJ Corp Group) - Dheeraj Gaur — Executive Vice President, Choice Wealth A candid look at how family offices are building conviction based public market portfolios, and where the line between diversification and dilution actually sits. 📍 Taj Lands End, Mumbai | 24 July, 2026 🔗 Register: zurl.co/LgZ1S hashtag#FamilyOffice hashtag#PublicMarkets hashtag#WealthManagement hashtag#ETFvsMutualFunds hashtag#InvestmentStrategy

Every family office is, at its core, an exercise in intergenerational governance, long before it is a portfolio strategy. The first generation optimizes for continuity: capital preserved across cycles, risk underwritten by memory. The next generation inherits not just wealth, but a different information environment, a different risk calculus, and a different definition of return. Two rational actors, operating from different data sets, arriving at different conclusions. The professionals who sit between them are not mediators. They are translators of risk logic, converting preservation instincts into language the next generation can build on, and growth ambitions into frameworks the previous generation can trust. This raises a harder question than most succession conversations acknowledge: how do you prepare an heir to be a steward, not just a beneficiary? Financial literacy is necessary but insufficient. The deeper work is instilling judgment, values, and a governance mindset before capital changes hands, not after. We explore this with four practitioners who navigate it directly: Aditya V Somani — Chairman, Somani Family Office Amrit Monga — Head, UKPI (Berger Paints Family Office) Sreedhar KV — CFO, Nilekani Family Office Harsh Kr. Dhanuka — CIO & Head of Family Office, SAR Group Family Office DHRUV SURI — Chief Investment Officer, Asia Titans Tarun Bhatia — Regional Managing Director, Kroll A conversation for principals, advisors, and next-gen stewards alike, on what it actually takes to transfer not just wealth, but wisdom. 📍 Taj Lands End, Mumbai | Family Office Summit 2026, July 2026 🔗 Register: zurl.co/UfAND #FamilyOffice #WealthGovernance #Succession #NextGenLeadership #GenerationalWealth
