TL;DR
This week’s roundup looks at how family offices are adapting their strategy, outlook, and operating model. The themes are clear: firmer planning, clearer benchmarks, and rising expectations from ultra-wealthy families.
This week, we cover:
- Trends in family office strategy, global outlooks, and compensation benchmarks.
- The growing push by RIAs to serve ultra-wealthy families more like family offices.
- What to plan for when employing family members inside the office.
