(LSJ) Family offices can now Invest directly to Green H2 Garden and DWS to fight climate change

Foreign Family Direct investments (FDI) from the leading family offices to technology sector companies are on the raise. Not only the NASDAQ top platform companies (fe. Amazon, Microsoft Facebook, Google, Apple) are benefiting from this trend. While some family offices may focus strictly on producing the best returns, others are more focused on impact driven investments that not only provide a strong return, but also help improve sustainability.

Today, we want to open channel for you dear investor to invest to Lifetime Group’s project portfolio’s star projects.

Our Investment Portfolio

tech driven family office should look into this opportunity

• CIMSCoin stable Coin fund based on Ethereum. Payment channel for dws3 payments.

“We are here to help you for evaluating any blockchain and AI related projects as well” says CEO of Lifetime Group, Risto Anton. “Our Advisory service makes it easier for family offices and investors form understanding and for example participate co-investment clubs to bag into a new technology niche platforms” he concludes.

“We are here to support MFOs and SFOs building co innovation, co-creation, co-investment deals”.

“The trend today is that family offices are investing directly in private companies through single-family and multi-family offices in rising numbers as these offices become more sophisticated” according to a study released by Fintrx, a Boston-based Data and Research firm. 

Family offices are doing FDIs (family direct investment)

More than half of the approximate 12,000-15,000 family offices around the world invest directly today. The present is the Best time to find good deals and investment opportunities.

Over the past 20 years, growth in global wealth has resulted in the creation of an estimated 12,000 – 15,000 family offices around the world. No longer simply the province of the world’s 1,500 billionaires, the family office concept now scales to those families with US$200 million or more in investable wealth.

Time to bag some great deals

The direct-investment trend is “consistent with broader trends we’re seeing in the ultra-high-net-worth market toward greater transparency, greater control of investments, and lower fees,” says Paul Ferguson, managing director at Schwab Advisor Family Office. Source: Barrons.

“With the family direct investing, these families have the ability to invest in the specific businesses they want to invest in,” Ferguson says. “They have a lot more control and can have [more of] a positive impact on the business through direct investing than through fund investing.” 

Family offices explained

“Family offices are known for their discrete investment behaviour and for cutting large investment checks. Successful family offices are run like a successful business. ”

A family office is any collection of staff, whether separate from a family business or not, which provides dedicated personal and/or professional services to a family. This often includes one or more individuals managing the operational aspects of family life – such as residences, travel, and asset collections – as well as professional staff managing accounting, tax, estate planning, legal, philanthropic, investment, and administrative matters. A family office can consist of as few as two people or as many as 350. (Source: A Guide to establishing a family office, Citi Private Bank).

As their names suggest, Single Family Offices (SFOs) manage the wealth of a single family or individual. Multi Family Offices (MFOs) are designed to provide similar services to their Single Family Office counterparts but to a number of wealthy families.

According Fintrx report (Source: Analyzing family office direct investment activity sponsored by Schwab) Family Offices are entities, established to manage and invest the wealth of individuals and families of substantial net worth. Family offices are known for their discrete investment behaviour and for cutting large investment checks.

Variants also include private family trust companies that are legally constituted in a form that maximizes tax and estate planning, along with long-term fiduciary oversight. The private trust company may work in concert with a family office, or operate as a standalone entity.

Another model is the family investment company. These entities often undertake investment activities on behalf
of the family, but do not offer support services (residence management, legal and accounting services, etc.) that are often provided by the traditional family offices. Regardless, the common denominator is that the office serves only one family, which may include multiple generations or even family branches.

By leveraging the services of an existing Multi Family Office, these wealthy families can limit the time needed to establish their own wealth advising entity.

Employment at a family office should not be positioned as a road to riches. Outsourcing to lifetime group is alternative approach, especially technical evaluation.

Family offices are on the raise: Outsourcing

The FINTRX family office guide estimates that 39% are Single Family Offices and 61% are Multi Family Offices.

Families should focus on incentives that promote desired results, healthy risk taking, and long-term relationships. While families may be tempted to offer a wide range of services as part of their family office, an inventory of the costs associated with each service element may result in foregoing or outsourcing certain services.

Lifetime certified partners consortium is solid investment partner for co-investment, co-innovation, co creation.

(LSJ) What is Data Science Platform?

When building teams

Market Definition/Description

Data Science Platform definition

A cohesive software application that offers a mixture of basic building blocks essential for creating all kinds of data science solution, and for incorporating those solutions into business processes, surrounding infrastructure and products.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is hyped:

Hype about AI is at its peak, but AI must be distinguished from data science and ML. Of course, data science is the core discipline for the development of AI, and ML is a core development of AI, but this is not the whole story. ML is about creating and training models; AI is about using those models to infer conclusions under certain conditions. AI is on a different level of aggregation to data science and ML. AI is at the application level.

Data Science and ML models must be combined to work together with other capabilities, such as a UI and workflow management, to constitute an AI Application.

The Report finds variety of audiences to data science and ML platforms (modified):

• Citizen data scientists who are accessing (open) data and building data science and ML models. They come from roles such as business analyst, line of business (LOB) analyst, data engineer, and application developer.

• LOB data science teams who address initiatives in areas such as digital marketing, risk management, Customer Engagement Management.

• Corporate data science teams who have strong executive sponsorship, and can take a cross-functional approach. They do model building and end-to-end process for building and deploying data science and ML models.

• Star (Mavericks) Data Scientists. The Python, R, Apache Spark Gurus.

Introducing Lifetime Studios Continuous Delivery DevOps Ready Teams

Dear Lifetime friends,

I would like to take this opportunity to explain how we work here at Lifetime Oy (Ltd). As you already know Lifetime Oy has to brands: 

Lifetime Studios 

Lifetime Studios delivers top-notch applications for customers who need mobile apps combined to best cloud back-end in the market. Android, iOS, Universal Windows Platform combined with Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, AWS, Telia Cloud, Tieto Cloud, among other. Not to mention our Customer own private clouds and databases.

Our flagship build at the moment is Crowd Investment Management Studio CIMS. CIMS is built using with our partner Microsoft tools and methods. Lifetime Studios is Microsoft BizSpark member. We use Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise and Professional versions (available for Windows 10 S and Mac), Microsoft Team Services to manage Agile Sprints, Delivery Plans, Documentation, Code and Builds and more.

right now, CIMS is ongoing a upgrade to its Deck. The key technical question is using HyperLedger Project and blockchain as information certificates and signing but possible also to money transactions. 

CIMS Advisory Board will also be updated with new people who come from our partner organisations.

I am actively seeking funding round for CIMS. CIMS is Crowd Unicorn and it aims to EU's Single Digital Market launched later this year. In the coming versions CIMS scales to be the Global Crowd Platform.

Lifetime Consulting

Lifetime Consulting deliver Full-Stack capable professional development Teams and Full-Stack capable consultants to customer projects. We use continuous development methodology, DevOps for those organisations who have adopted it. In our core toolset is Microsoft Team Services, in which it possible to create precise Delivery plans including workload management so that each our 3 to 4 person Teams delivers the best possible value to our Customers. Just in Time and in Budget.

Our Management Consulting Advisors deliver Executive Services to customers whose intention is to clarify and step-up to delivering their Digital Strategies, Processes, Apps. We love to show our clients our ideas as Demo Apps rather than PowerPoint slides. Certainly we write white papers if that what you as a valued customer want us first to do.

Our Consultants

Lifetime Consultants are Software Professionals that usually have long history in working in Large Organisations. We accept spring chickens to our teams, but I strongly believe that long history in Software Engineering is an Advantage. That said, old databases and old data is sometimes burden and waste. So all our hired consultants go through life cycle management period where using clean room technologies and cleansing we get rid of old database, find inner peace and tabula rasa. When the mind is clear newly hired consultants will go through detailed hands-on training on Topics such as Software Engineering, Business Modelling, Full-Stack Delivery and so on. Fresh minded, smiling Consultant is our flagship product.

Again, our partner Microsoft's Virtual Academy and our Training Partners seminars and certificates ensure that every our consultant are capable to deliver continuous apps whose life cycle is long and ROI are at the best possible level.

Every our consultant participate actively in Meetups and Hackatlons. We want to be there with the community and our dear colleagues. Friendly faces and small talk is an asset to us. We are here for you.

Physical exercises, I personally favor running and gym, are necessity to stay in form in this bubble business. Good Health and can do attitude, friendly personality can be worked out and learned. Our Consultants do their best to learn every Day. 

Dear Customer Call us for an Offer

Give us a go. Contact our Sales. We build Finnish Software. We also would like to hear about you as a employee. Lifetime Studios and Lifetime Consulting are building New Teams constantly.
