While the “who” and the “how”—control, access and governance—have risen in importance in an increasingly fragmented world, the “what” and “where” remain equally determinative. The nature of the assets and their location continue to shape legal enforceability, political exposure and operational resilience.\u003C/span>\u003Cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"> \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u003Cspan>\u003Cem>“In a multipolar world, asset preservation is no longer defined solely by the assets themselves or their physical location,” he says, “but increasingly by access—who can control, deploy or relocate them under shifting political, regulatory and geopolitical conditions—and by the people connected to them.”\u003C/em>\u003C/span>\u003Cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"> \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u003Cspan>The implication is that protection strategies must address both internal family dynamics and external volatility, requiring preparation, timing and flexibility. “It is not simply about moving capital,” Quirijns adds, “but about constructing a robust and adaptable architecture.” This typically involves combining trusts, foundations and cost-efficient portfolio companies with multiple custodians and legal frameworks across reputable jurisdictions, preserving optionality through changes of custodian, governing law or legal seat.\u003C/span>\u003Cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"> \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u003Cspan>Crucially, multijurisdictional resilience must extend beyond structures to the individuals behind them.

In periods when risks feel closer to home, asset owners and managers are forced to reassess their portfolios: where assets are held, how they are held, and whether they are genuinely stable. \u003C/span>\u003Cspan>For many seasoned professionals, diversification is a discipline, not a response to external threats.

In times of heightened geopolitical tension, concentration becomes a quiet risk that can break an otherwise solid business. True resilience is built by design: across geographies, strategies and regulatory frameworks. If your base is not diversified, it is not a foundation, it is a gamble.” \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u003Cspan>The Lehman Brothers’ collapse is a classic illustration of the risks of not diversifying.

Geography does play a role; however, sticking to this approach oversimplifies the structural challenge.  \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u003Cspan>Diversification is about structure, not location.  \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u003Cspan>So, then, what does good asset diversification look like? For van Zanten, “Good asset diversification is not just ticking jurisdiction boxes, it builds structure. Legal and regulatory environments each come with their own administrative demands, predictability levels and governance standards. Smart owners don’t just compare locations; they assess how these components interact with their asset goals. That alignment, not the map, is what protects your portfolio when external threats rise.”  \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u003Cspan>When diversifying assets, constant restructuring or complex redesigns are not required. Instead, the process involves deliberately choosing where the ownership is anchored, how governance is practiced, and how the different components of the structure interact. Importantly, how they remain resilient under a wide range of conditions, not only when geopolitical tensions arise.  \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\u003Ch1 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u003Cspan>Getting it right \u003C/span>\u003C/h1>\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u003Cspan>Asset diversification is always unique, as it depends on the individual requirements and market conditions.
