What’s the largest Israeli family office by AUM?

Our familyofficehub.io research team has identified Ofer Global as the largest Israeli family office, with assets under management exceeding $20bn.

How does the Ofer family invest?

Originating from the legacy of legendary shipping magnate Sammy Ofer, the family business has grown over generations into a sprawling international enterprise. Today, under the leadership of Eyal Ofer, Ofer Global oversees a diversified portfolio spanning maritime shipping (via Zodiac Group), global real estate (notably through Global Holdings), banking, technology, and energy. Eyal also maintains major public equity stakes in companies such as Royal Caribbean Cruises and Mizrahi Tefahot Bank, and supports philanthropic causes through the Eyal & Marilyn Ofer Family Foundation.

The Ofer family’s investment strategy reflects both long-term sector expertise and evolving ambitions. O.G. Venture Partners and OG Tech lead their venture capital exposure, targeting early-stage technology firms, while the energy vertical is handled through O.G. Energy. In parallel, the next generation is expanding into new arenas: Daniel Ofer recently led Eastern Pacific Shipping into elite sports with a 43% stake in the Movistar cycling team and holdings in major European football clubs. Meanwhile, David Ofer transitioned from Zodiac Tankers to manage OG Tech, underlining the family’s growing focus on tech innovation.

The Ofer family is also investing through the vehicle Ofer Investments, which is chaired by Liora Ofer, the daughter of Yuli Ofer (the brother of Sammy Ofer). We note that Ofer Global is located in Monaco, but OG Tech and Ofer investments are either headquartered in Israel or have offices in the country.

Alternative candidates for the Israeli family office ranking by AUM

Our team has also evaluated alternative candidates for the creation of the “largest family office in Israel” ranking. For instance, the billionaire Bukhman brothers, founders of gaming company Playrix, manage their capital through Rix Capital, one of the most noteworthy family offices in Israel. However, it has a smaller scale than the Ofer investment vehicles. For the family of Stef Wertheimer (who passed away in March 2025), there is no known family office entity. Israeli billionaire Teddy Sagi invests through Cyprus-based Globe Invest, which is, however, smaller than the Ofer family offices.
