Family Office Networks announced today the launch of a new division in Chicago led by Richard Beleutz. Family offices, high net worth individuals and the top advisors who serve them are invited to join the Chicago Family Office Association, which will celebrate its local kick off with an exclusive, invitation-only event.

The Chicago Family Office Association (tcifoa.org) will serve one of the most intellectually astute family office regions in the country. The group is designed to serve the extremely accomplished single and multi-family office community by creating an environment in which to share intellectual capital, leverage their years of industry expertise, and bring unique industry-generated deal flow and opportunities.

“Our organization is dedicated to providing information, opportunities and investment resources to affluent families and individuals. We provide multi-generational support to family structures in order to ensure continued success and wealth preservation. We will offer our Chicago members exceptional news, information, and other resources to help ensure that they are well-positioned for future success,” said Andrew Schneider, Founder and President of Family Office Networks.

Managing Director Richard Beleutz is Managing Partner of Alternative Investment Resource (AIR), an independent boutique financial services firm focused exclusively on alternative investments. AIR acts as an independent private equity sponsor and investment banking advisor providing services to the middle market. While the AI Resource team has a broad experience base across many sectors, the firm has a concentrated focus on healthcare and financial services. AIR is headquartered in Chicago, with operations in New York and Dallas. Current holdings include a biotech company, a hospital management services company, a hedge fund, and a specialty finance company focused on underserved lending and banking niches. Previously, he was managing member at Beleutz& Associates, LLC and a branch manager for Ameriprise.

The Chicago Family Office Association is open to any family office operating within the local area. There will be numerous events, seminars, and special functions that take place throughout the year engineered to deliver the most pertinent information to assist family offices in reaching their goals.
