Family Offices & Principal Capital

A discreet, principal-led process for direct investments and complex liquidity events.

Family offices and principal investors generally want fewer intermediaries, clearer economics, and one accountable point of contact who reads the deal documents alongside the policy. WolfTRI is built for that.

Where we help

Transactions where confidentiality and direct decision-making matter.

  • Direct private-company acquisitions and minority investments.
  • Portfolio-company add-ons and bolt-on M&A.
  • Single-asset and portfolio real-estate and real-asset transactions.
  • Sale-leasebacks, recapitalizations, and complex liquidity events.
  • Co-investments alongside sponsors where the family office wants independent RWI counsel.
What changes for the principal

Fewer handoffs. Clearer compensation. One person who stays on the file.

01 · Access

Same wholesale RWI market.

WolfTRI places coverage through appropriately licensed U.S. wholesale and, where applicable, surplus-lines intermediaries. The principal walks out with coverage from an established RWI insurer, negotiated against the deal documents.

02 · Economics

Transparent compensation.

WolfTRI is paid through the insurer-paid commission already embedded in the premium. The standard RWI placement model does not include an additional WolfTRI retail broker fee. Premium, underwriting fees, surplus-lines taxes, and material compensation are disclosed before binding.

03 · Continuity

The Principal Broker stays on the file.

The same person who reads the purchase agreement at the indication stage coordinates the underwriting call, the policy negotiation, and the post-binding and claim-related questions that follow.

Working with existing advisors

WolfTRI complements rather than replaces a family office’s incumbent commercial insurance broker. Existing advisors keep the go-forward property, casualty, cyber, environmental, benefits, and other renewable workstreams. WolfTRI focuses on the transaction-specific RWI policy and related contingent or tax coverages.

Counsel remains counsel. WolfTRI provides insurance brokerage services only and does not provide legal, tax, accounting, or investment advice.

What to send

A short intake is usually enough.

Send NDA-level parameters and the Principal Broker follows up with preliminary, non-binding indications.

Send when you can
  • Draft or signed LOI or term sheet
  • Target entity overview — structure, jurisdictions, headline financials
  • Counterparty identity, if the NDA allows
  • Target closing timeline
  • Counsel of record, if engaged
