History
Mark Haynes Daniell, a well-known expert on the strategic and educational needs of legacy families, founded The Raffles Family Wealth Trust in 2010 and began developing The Raffles Legacy Learning Center five years later.
Through his extensive advisory practice and professional research, Mark realized that sustaining a meaningful family legacy requires more than just financial wealth. The technical aspects of business strategy, wealth structuring and investment management are critical for financial well-being, but they are not sufficient to fulfill all of a family’s legacy needs. In addition to economic success, true family wealth and enduring legacies are built upon a solid foundation of shared purpose, vision and values, healthy relationships and careful succession planning across generations.
Our experts come from different backgrounds and countries. We all believe that preserving and enhancing true family wealth can serve a private benefit and create social good through employment, investment, networking and philanthropy – strengthening the communities in which legacy families live, work and contribute.
Loss of wealth is not only a loss for the family, but also the people involved in the family ecosystem, business and philanthropic activity.

“You can indeed protect and enhance your family wealth across generations – if you have a vision, a plan and the collective will to act for the benefit of the greater family.”
A family with a unified vision, strong ethical values, and a solid knowledge base can persevere, and even prosper, through difficult or uncertain economic times and flourish in positive economic environments.
The purpose of The Raffles Legacy Learning Center is to equip family leaders and members of every generation with the knowledge to build a positive, profitable and enduring approach to their family wealth and legacy.
