The Pembroke Family Advantage Program is designed to benefit the families of our clients. The Program enables you to extend many of the Pembroke benefits that you enjoy to virtually all members of your family. Furthermore, the Program allows all families enrolled to use the combined value of family holdings to determine management fees.
Now daughters and sons, nephews and nieces, brothers and sisters, life partners, grandparents and other family members can all benefit from their combined account size regardless of their age or address. This innovative approach exceeds industry standards and will benefit many of our existing clients.
If the aggregate assets held by the family members enrolled in the Program meet certain thresholds (detailed below), Pembroke will apply the corresponding fee schedule to all accounts, regardless of account size or account type. While all members of the family benefit from the same fee, the information associated with each account will be kept confidential.

How do I get started?
- Each family must select a primary contact who will be responsible for managing the family’s involvement with the Program. This person will act as the lead and will be responsible for coordinating with other family members to collect the appropriate paperwork.
- To take full advantage of the Program, we recommend that you identify all family members that can be included in the grouping of assets. Unfortunately, we cannot provide this information due to confidentiality issues.
- Once the primary contact has been selected and the list of family members (and their relationship to the primary contact) has been finalized, please let us know so your Pembroke representative can start collecting the appropriate paperwork.
- After all family members have been enrolled, the fee schedule that will be applied to all accounts will be determined based on the aggregate assets held by the family.
