New Office
International Multi-Family Office Pushes Into Florida

The MFO, which is based in London, has offices in locations around the world, including a presence in Philadelphia and Toronto.
Stonehage
Fleming, the multi-family office, has opened a new
representative office in Brickell Avenue Financial District,
Miami, to push into the southeast of the US. The UK-based
organization has appointed Lowry Brescia as the client
relationship manager for the group in Miami.
The office will serve as a “gateway” for ultra-high net worth
individuals and families in Florida and throughout Latin America
to access Stonehage Fleming’s services. It will also be a local
port of call for professional intermediaries either in, or
passing through, the area.
Brescia, whose role takes immediate effect, reports to Johan
van Niekerk, head of family office (US). She has joined from
Lionheart Capital where she was vice president of operations.
Prior to this, she spent more than a decade at The Cantor Group
(formerly Cantor & Webb P A), latterly as director of client
services and public relations.
“Lowry’s broad industry experience and contacts gained by working
with ultra-high net worth individuals predominantly from Latin
America, North America and the Caribbean is hugely valuable as we
seek to develop our presence in Florida,” van Niekerk said.
“Having been based in Florida for two decades and a fluent
Spanish speaker, Lowry is firmly embedded in the community and
has a clear understanding of the wealth management
landscape.”
Opening the representative office in Miami has given Stonehage
Fleming a presence in 14 geographies around the world,
including an office in Philadelphia, and a representative office
in Toronto, Canada.
