Family Offices Global Market Report 2024

The family offices market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $18.33 billion in 2023 to $19.4 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be ascribed to trends in wealth accumulation, the demand for asset diversification, requirements for succession planning, the global spread of wealth, and the implementation of tax optimization strategies.

The family offices market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.82 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The anticipated expansion in the forecast period can be credited to the increasing number of ultra-high net worth individuals (UHNWI), prevailing trends in impact investing, the digital transformation within the finance sector, and shifts in wealth management due to changing generations. Notable trends expected in the forecast period encompass the emergence of co-investment opportunities, the consolidation of family offices, an emphasis on family governance, the adoption of philanthropic strategies, and heightened attention to regulatory compliance.

The anticipated growth in the family offices market is expected to be driven by the increasing demand for wealth management services. Wealth management involves professional services and strategies aimed at assisting individuals or families in preserving, growing, and effectively managing their wealth. Family offices are expanding their services by offering a comprehensive range of sophisticated financial solutions to address the intricate needs of high-net-worth individuals and families. The key advantage of family offices in wealth management lies in providing highly personalized and comprehensive financial services tailored to meet the specific needs and objectives of affluent families. This facilitates the preservation, growth, and efficient management of their wealth across generations. As an example, the Global Family Office Report 2022 by UBS Group AG revealed that over 80% of family offices invested in private equity, with a growing number engaging in direct investments annually. The average allocations to private equity total wealth have steadily increased from 10% in 2020 to 13% in 2021, indicating a growing reliance on family offices for sophisticated wealth management services. Therefore, the increasing demand for wealth management services is expected to drive the growth of the family offices market.

The expected surge in disposable income is poised to propel the growth of the family offices market. Disposable income represents the total amount of money available for spending and saving by an individual or household after deducting taxes and other mandatory contributions. With an increase in financial resources, individuals and families seek professional wealth management services to navigate the complexities of diversified investments, estate planning, tax optimization, and lifestyle management. Family offices play a pivotal role in delivering personalized services, guiding the next generation, and supporting various aspects of comprehensive wealth management as financial complexities intensify with growing affluence. For instance, in 2021, the World Bank reported that the per capita net disposal income of lower middle-income countries ranged between $1,036 and $4,045, while upper middle-income countries recorded a per capita net disposal income between $4,046 and $12,535. Additionally, the Office for National Statistics noted a 3.6% growth in the gross disposable household income (GDHI) in the United Kingdom in 2021 compared to the figures recorded in 2020. Hence, the increase in disposable income serves as a driving force for the growth of the family offices market.

A prominent trend gaining traction in the family offices market is the adoption of disruptive technologies such as AI and blockchain. Leading companies in the family offices market regularly prioritize disruptive technologies to enhance competitiveness through increased adoption. For example, in October 2022, Raffles Family Office, a China-based multi-family office offering investment management services, introduced the Revo Digital Family Office. This next-generation platform enables ultra-high-net-worth families to access and invest in digital assets, incorporating blockchain technology to overhaul legacy systems and processes in wealth management, providing enhanced security and efficiency.

Major companies in the family offices market are also innovating their services, introducing offerings such as syndicate funds for family offices to maintain a competitive edge. A syndicate fund is a pooled investment vehicle where multiple investors, often sharing similar investment goals or interests, contribute capital to collectively invest in diverse assets or opportunities. For instance, in September 2023, Artha Group, an India-based property developer, launched the Artha Continuum Fund (ACF), an exclusive syndicate fund tailored for family offices and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNIs). This fund offers elite investors direct access to bridge rounds of emerging growth-stage ventures, allowing them to invest a minimum of ₹10 crores ($1,209,510) per deal. ACF strategically co-invests alongside leading VC funds, providing investors with a unique entry into the growth stage VC ecosystem. By addressing due diligence depth and negotiation power, ACF offers investors a platform for elevated returns from private investments while mitigating risks associated with early-stage startups.

In October 2022, Endowus, a Singapore-based digital wealth advisory platform, completed the acquisition of Carret Private Investments for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables the Endowus group of firms to vertically integrate, better meeting the demands of various customer groups, and delivering superior investment and advisory solutions. Carret Private Investments, a China-based multi-family office specializing in wealth management, private investments, and wealth planning, aligns with Endowus' strategic objectives.
