3. Family Office Advisor – A View of the
Industry
• What I wanted to do is provide you with a view of the forest as a family office advisor.
• There is a financial times article that came out recently that had some numbers in it about
the industry that I did not really agree with.
• At lots of conferences I hear people say things I do not really agree with about the family
office space.
• I have met in person face to face with over a thousand family offices now, I know over fifty
billion dollar families and our family office association is the largest in the world with over
74,000 professionals globally.
• So we have a lot of perspective of the forest of what is going on within the industry.

4. Family Office Advisor – A View of the
Industry
I wanted to share some of the advice with you here so you can hear from somebody directly
who has focused his whole life on the industry.
• First of all, there are over 10,000 family offices globally.
• I heard a well-respected organization say recently that there are only a hundred single
family offices in Asia.
• I know that there are well over one hundred just in Singapore, Hong Kong is a big
competitor, and China there are lots of single family offices being started and ran all the
time.
• Part of it depends on your definition of a single family office, but there are a lot of single
family offices out there.
• We estimate that there are over 10,000 global family offices and the industry is really
thriving.

5. Family Office Advisor – A View of the
Industry
What I want to focus on now a few quick bullet points and a 10,000 foot
perspective of what is going on within this space.
• Globally the industry is thriving, but some people in local geographies feel
like it is moving very slowly for them.
• I was recently in Toronto to speak at an event and people were saying that in
Canada they feel like the family office industry is pretty new here, but
people have been saying that for ten years.
• There are only two to three formal family offices publicly known in Prague,
but there are quite a few family offices that are not known.
• It is moving slowly in countries like the Czech Republic, Turkey, and even
Brazil. It is moving pretty slow for the amount of wealth that is there.
• It is thriving, but in certain geographies it is slow.

6. Family Office Advisor – A View of the
Industry
• There is a big private banking vs family office turf war going on.
• Places like Singapore and Hong Kong there are big battles.
• Private banks try to keep the assets within their reach and not within family offices.
• As a result, private banks have been launching things like family office platforms or private
banks serving family offices.
• Talent is very scares in the industry.
• Family office executive search needs are growing, family office recruiting and recruitment
needs are growing.

8. Family Office Advisor – A View of the
Industry
• Single family offices are doing more co-investing and direct investing.
• They are really taking matters into their own hands after 2008 to 2011 economic crash.
• In the future what we are going to see are more family offices globally, more single family
offices, direct investing and co-investing investment clubs, and more formalization of the
family office industry.
• There will be whole training programs, associations, and books on single family offices.
• As the industry matures globally, what we are going to see is a much greater pool of talent
and professionals working in the space. If you are a financial advisor, that is good news.
• If you are an ultra wealth professional looking for a family office solution, you might have to
wait until one is available locally for you.
• If you are looking for resources in the space there is more available every single day.
