A single-family office owned by the Wunsch Foundation
Who We Are
The Dragon Office is a Singaporean single-family office operating six dedicated business branches which are as follows:
Aside from running the above business lines the family office also owns and operates the the central family trust which is – along with other critical operations – based in the Cayman Islands again. The Dragon Office is wholly owned by the Switzerland-based Wunsch Foundation, which as per the statutes uses 65% of distributed profits for good causes, gives another 15% to its independent sister organization, the Libertarian World Citizens (which is registered as another charitable organization in Switzerland) and allocates the residual 20% to the DO Family Trust which again is taking care of the founder, Markus Wunsch, and his descendants.
However, despite the mentioned ownership structure, “The Dragon Office” and its business units enjoy relatively large degrees of freedom which are only limited by the relevant trust and service agreements putting an equal emphasis on asset preservation and the pursuit of the founder's vision. In fact in same cases there’s even a split in economic ownership and voting rights in place; putting each in the possession of a different foundation or trust.
The name of The Dragon Office has been derived from the Chinese star-sign of Markus who was born in 1988, the year of the Dragon, a symbol traditionally associated with wisdom, courage, prosperity, luck and wealth. At the same time, the Chinese word Lông, which means Dragon, sounds like the English word “long” which in the financial world has a positive connotation related to growth and prosperity and also gives a clear hint that we are in the game “lông-term” rather than pursuing short-term gains.
