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.

THIS WEEK'S ASORA HIGHLIGHT

Choosing family office software isn't just about features. It's about finding a partner that supports your structure, protects your data, and scales with your needs. We've outlined key questions to ask when evaluating providers, such as:

  • Can the platform scale with your family office's complexity and growth?
  • How do you protect our most sensitive data?
  • What level of support and onboarding do you offer?
  • What's the true total cost of ownership?
