Frequently asked questions

The name change reflects the next natural step following SEB’s acquisition of Boye Advisory in 2024 and strengthens alignment with SEB’s broader international 1856 Family Office platform.

In practical terms, very little is changing beyond the name. Clients will continue to work with the same dedicated team, receive the same personal approach and benefit from the same trusted services.

The core offering remains the same, but the new name more clearly reflects access to SEB’s broader international family office ecosystem and integrated range of financial and non-financial services.

1856 Family Office is SEB’s international platform for serving business families, entrepreneurs and family offices with holistic, specialised non‑financial solutions.

No. The trusted team, relationships and day-to-day client experience remain unchanged.

No. The business continues to operate with the same high level of discretion, flexibility and personalised service.

SEB’s ambition is to build a leading long-term family office platform that supports clients across wealth, governance, succession, ownership and broader family office needs across generations.

A new name, greater platform clarity and the same trusted foundation.

Boye Advisory is now 1856 Family Office
