IN BUSINESS SINCE 1594
Buyck family’s success has been passed down through seventeen generations, built on strong values and a commitment to lasting wealth to drive a positive impact on society.
These principles of trust, transparency and commitment are the foundation for a family-focused advisory office.
The advisory role is essential to ensure that success are preserved and passed on from generation to generation.
We have and always continue to seek the long term view.
In doing so, we aligned our interests and keep us free from conflicts.
Since 1998, the Office is a combination of the legacy of experiences and challenges faced by the family’s successful businessmen and women.
This legacy is defined by our consideration for our partners.
The families and entrepreneurs true to the same values and long-term perspective, hold our greatest regard.
Pioneering in finance for centuries
TRADITION
In 1594 the Buyck family co-established the Dutch East India Company with Hendrick Buyck, as co-founder, acting as managing director of the V.O.C.
PHIlosophy
By helping others understand, we allow ourselves to condense a subject to its essence. In doing so, we achieve simplicity, the ultimate sophistication. This is Marie-Louise Buyck-Coopman’s philosophy passed on the 17th generation.
FAMILY ADVISORY OFFICE
Since 1998, our Brussels’ office is located in the Warmoesstraat, commissioned by King Leopold II, paying tribute to the eponymous street in Amsterdam where the V.O.C. was co-founded.
