Family offices (“FO”) are becoming an increasing global force in investing. Goldman recently published their inaugural FO report, surveying more than 150 respondents globally. We share key highlights here:
56% manage funds in-house with only 4% outsources and balance using a hybrid strategy
FOs have outsized allocations to alternative investments to chase higher yields and their ability to be patient capital
2/3 are thinking about a prolonged low-rate environment and are concerned about inflation
Not surprisingly, to counter these concerns, they are reducing cash and fixed income allocations while increasing equities
44% are also investing in cash flowing operating business
While 36% are investing in stabilized real estate
65% of FO’s in Americas invest in real estate directly while 27% through managers
FOs invest directly in real estate for greater discretion over deals and potential tax-related benefits
Goldman says there’s a “paradigm shift” from traditional core real estate assets such as retail and office to those that support demographic tailwinds such as senior housing and population/employment migrations (stabilized multifamily) as well as innovation-driven growth e.g. e-commerce, logistics and health sciences
Family offices are also competing with private equity funds to lead deals with abilities to raise funds as needed
