How we report, what we promise, and how to reach us.
Last updated: June 17, 2026
Family Office Networks exists to inform the family-office community with reporting it can trust. These standards describe how our editorial team works and how we keep our journalism independent of our commercial activities.
Editorial decisions are made by our editorial team alone. Advertisers, sponsors, members, and event partners do not influence which stories we cover or the conclusions we reach. Commercial relationships never buy favorable coverage.
We prefer named, on-the-record sources and primary documents. Because much of the family-office world is private, we sometimes rely on background or anonymous sources — but only when the information is in the public interest, we have corroboration, and we understand the source’s motivation. Direct quotations are presented accurately and in context.
We label commercial content plainly. Sponsorship, paid placement, advertising, and any FON business interest relevant to a story are disclosed at the top of the piece where they apply. Sponsored or branded content is identified as such and is not presented as independent editorial.
Our editorial team discloses and recuses itself from coverage where a personal or financial conflict could compromise independence. Membership in the FON+ network does not entitle anyone to coverage.
Our surveys and the FON+ Statistics Memo report aggregated, de-identified data. We describe our methodology and sample where relevant, and we do not attribute responses to identifiable individuals.
When we get something wrong, we fix it promptly and transparently, noting significant corrections on the affected piece. If you believe we have published an error, please tell us.
