Since 1970, Caledonian Global Financial Services has offered comprehensive international banking and consulting services. Founded by William S. Walker, OBE, in the Cayman Islands, Caledonian has been instrumental in developing legislation that has aided local economic development, and has furthermore implemented social initiatives that aid in the strengthening of communities.

Values, Integrity, Social Responsibility.

Caledonian Global Financial Services takes great pride in helping to create programs and scholarships that aid in students' academic endeavors. It has long been Caledonian's philosophy that strong economies are created by strong societies, and without educational opportunities, environmental responsibility, and excellent corporate citizenship, strong societies simply aren't possible.

Educational opportunities are more than just social obligations – they are crucial community investments. Caledonian has created a merit-based scholarship fund, in order to help create a thriving, educated, and skilled local resource. The scholarship is in the amount of $15,000.

Financial matters are shockingly alien to many of our children, and this knowledge deficit threatens to undermine the economic stability of an entire generation. In order to foster early understanding of financial matters, Caledonian has furthermore launched the "Money Smarts" program, designed to give children between grades 6 and 9 a head start on financial literacy. The program includes courses on budgeting, saving, debt management, interest rates, identity protection, and the origins of currency.

Caledonian Global Financial Services is also dedicated to environmental health, and has pushed numerous marine life protection initiatives into action. Additionally, it has also converted its own Cayman Islands parking lot into a solar park, whose solar panels produce roughly half the total electricity used by the Caledonian Cayman Island structure.

The management of ultra high net-worth families presents unique challenges to wealth management firms. Unlike individuals or corporate entities, families can have a delicate interpersonal dynamic that can be highly demanding to manage. While professional spheres allocate specific duties to dedicated individuals, family members will often manage a broad spectrum of tasks without necessarily possessing the requisite expertise. Moreover, the emotional components can present difficulties and conflict within the family structure.

When it comes to the wealth management of ultra high net-worth families, many wealth management services cannot negotiate the delicate terrain of multi-generational client needs. Because many ultra high net-worth families are managed internally by stakeholders and family members with divergent levels of expertise, agendas, and sensibilities, it is critical that advisors approach the individual situations with conflict resolution strategies and strong emotional quotient skills. Furthermore, full and fluid channels of communication must be established between client and advisor, so that both the overarching and internal challenges can be met directly and effectively.
