Family Offices Global Market Report 2026

A single-family office (SFO) is a private wealth management entity specifically designed to meet the needs of a single affluent family. Asset classes managed by family offices include bonds, equities, alternative investments, commodities, and cash or cash equivalents. These offices can take various forms, such as founders' offices, multi-generational offices, investment offices, trustee offices, compliance offices, philanthropy offices, shareholder offices, and others. Family offices cater to varying levels of net worth, with classifications including less than 50 million, 50 million to 100 million, and more than 100 million.
