Home / About Us

We build legacies
with discretion and technology.

AKWS was born from the conviction that Private Banking care should be available to every family building its financial future, not just a privileged few.

Our Story

From wealth
expertise to
a platform.

Client using the AKWS platform

AKWS was born from over 12 years of experience in wealth management, accumulated since 2012. We witnessed firsthand the reality of families that, despite significant wealth, lacked access to the operational sophistication reserved for large Private Banks.

We identified a gap in the Brazilian market: families actively building their wealth, such as entrepreneurs, professionals and executives, who needed structured planning but were left without qualified Private Banking service.

In 2023, we founded AKWS as a fully independent Multi-Family Office, after breaking away from traditional banking structures. We combine the tradition of Private Banking with modern technology, in a proprietary platform that puts the client at the center.

Today, AKWS serves more than 150 families with the mission of democratizing access to the Family Office, always preserving our essence: independence, transparency and long-term care.

“We don't serve fortunes. We serve families building their future.”Antonio Kulaif · Founder

Why AKWS

What makes us
different.

Unique characteristics that make AKWS the right choice for your family.

01

Independence

Our advice answers to a single priority: your family's goals. Unlike banks and brokers, we are not paid through product commissions, which eliminates conflicts of interest and ensures that every recommendation exists to serve you, not a sales shelf.

02

Transparent fees

We work on a fee-based model: clear fees, agreed with you and tied to the growth of your wealth. When you grow, we grow with you. It is the alignment of interests in its most transparent form.

03

Extensive experience in international investments

More than a decade structuring global allocations for Brazilian families. We bring international diversification with governance and compliance, opening access to markets and opportunities beyond Brazil's borders.

04

Multidisciplinary team

Professionals with expertise in investments, succession, tax planning, corporate structures and wealth law, all coordinated in a single relationship.

05

Access with no restrictive minimum

Unlike traditional Private Banks, which require millions to take you on, we welcome families at any stage of wealth building, with the same quality of service.

06

Long-term focus

We think in decades, not quarters. Every recommendation considers the wealth and the future of your family's next generations, not immediate returns.
