Philanthropy Toolbox

In accordance with the priorities of our families, North-East is committed to breaking new ground within the realm of philanthropy. It is essential to our purpose of helping our families fulfil their potential and support their ambition to lead meaningful lives.

We have a holistic approach to deploying resources and capital, and we design interventions and partnerships that best address the issues which matter to our families.

In order to deliver bespoke solutions and create the desired impact, we need to master the full range of tools in an area where things are currently really taking off. New, deeper and more sophisticated insights emerge every day, brought forward by highly skilled organizations around the world. This fast-paced development, in itself an amazing thing to witness, certainly keeps us on our toes – and that’s how we like it.

We develop philanthropic activities and projects ranging from donations to catalytic philanthropy and impact-oriented venture investments. We deliver results through alliances with likeminded partners as well as through turnkey solutions.

We develop and build the customized structures necessary to fulfil the philanthropic ambitions of our families, whether it’s an international trust or a charitable foundation.

We are committed to delivering more than donations to the organizations we work with. In addition, we continuously test new methodologies within areas such as social impact bonds and equity- and debt models.

We work together with our families to develop activities and projects to match their wishes. By aiming for this goal, and through a pragmatic and unconventional approach, we contribute new understandings while establishing legacies, which our families can take pride in.

Digital Technology

Digital technology is a strategic investment area at North-East. We strive to put digital at the core of our business operations wherever it makes sense, and to us, running a business in the digital age means using digital capabilities both to improve the outcome for our families and to increase operational agility.

Cyber Security

In an increasingly digital society we become more vulnerable to cyber threats ranging from fraud, extortion, and espionage to cyber-enabled physical threats.

Healthcare​

Investments in healthcare are of strategic importance to us. At North-East we believe that the healthcare sector is tremendously promising as many significant, structural changes in the world influence the demand for healthcare products and services and will continue to do so in the decades to come.

My North-East

We have developed and maintain a unique reporting and analysis platform, My North-East. The platform delivers timely data-driven insight to our families and for our internal decision-making. My North-East includes all relevant data sources and provides an unmatched level of detail ranging from investments to philanthropy.

Private Equity​

North-East Private Equity is a Singapore-based company whose major investors are the owners of the North-East Family Office. The company was established in 2015 in recognition of the significant growth- and investment potential in Southeast Asia.

Private Organizations

Our families reside all over the world and often it is preferable to have a private organization nearby, working closely with both the family and North-East on a daily basis. The private organizations might be established previously or founded on our initiative and working seamlessly together with North-East.

Personal Strategies

It is a common, human experience to be able – at least in retrospect – to identify turning points in life. Situations, where your life took a new direction and fundamental priorities shifted. These turning points are just as often the result of an inner resolve as of external circumstances. At North-East we work together with our families to develop personal strategies to navigate these turning points and ensure that the goals and dreams of our families become real.

Venture

North-East has a strong focus on venture investments. Within the trends and transformations that North-East and the families have identified as strategic they are expected to contribute significantly to the portfolios' returns and at the same time serve as a window to the future.
