Strength in Collaboration, Excellence in Service
At Charles Park, our ethos is rooted in collaboration. We work closely with a trusted network of UK and international private banks, investment managers and advisers, each bringing specialist insight to support families operating across borders, sectors and generations. Families benefit most when they are supported by a well-connected professional ecosystem, and we remain committed to developing these relationships with care, respect and long-term intent.
As part of this commitment, we are pleased to introduce our Preferred Partners within the Private Wealth pillar: Galilei Investment Office in London and AES International in Dubai.
Together, these partnerships enable us to support families across multiple jurisdictions with both regulated financial expertise and regional depth.
Galilei Investment Office
A disciplined, research-driven investment approach
Galilei takes an institutional approach to portfolio management, challenging traditional conventions when appropriate. Their Chief Investment Office brings deep expertise across global macro and flow analysis, asset allocation, portfolio construction, manager selection and risk management spanning both public and private markets.
Galilei’s investment process is built on rigorous research, the identification of talent, and the establishment of conviction. Alongside their in-house analysis, they purchase the highest-quality independent research and conduct comprehensive due diligence on every investment. Where necessary, they engage world-leading external experts to supplement specific aspects of their assessment.

Through these relationships, our clients gain entry to opportunities typically reserved for institutions and large family offices.
