List of 5 large family offices in Europe

Family offices are playing an increasingly important role in the European financial landscape. Their activities go beyond traditional real estate, equity, and debt investments and now also focus on alternative asset classes such as venture capital, private equity, and renewable energy. Our unique list of the largest European family offices combine our single and multi family office lists. In the following, we are presenting five exemplary entries of the list.

1. Canica (Single Family Office, Norway)

Stein Erik Hagen, as the Chairman of the Board and a key shareholder of the Orkla conglomerate, ranks among Norway’s wealthiest individuals, with a fortune estimated at over $3 billion. Through his family office, Canica, Hagen actively invests in a range of sectors, including industrial ventures, financial markets, and real estate. Canica, which belongs to the most important family offices in Europe, primarily focuses its investments in Northern Europe, operating from offices in Oslo and Pfäffikon, Switzerland. Beyond Orkla, some of Canica’s major industrial investments include stakes in companies like Komplett, Anora, and Jernia. The family’s real estate holdings alone are valued at around $1 billion.

2. Stanhope Capital (Multi Family Office, UK)

Despite not branding itself as a family office, London-based Stanhope Capital is highly regarded as one of Europe’s top multi-family offices, with over $24 billion in assets under management. In 2020, the firm revealed its plans to merge with FWM Holdings, the parent company of the Forbes Family Trust, which is tied to the family famous for its publishing empire. Stanhope’s client roster includes notable names such as the Duchy of Lancaster, the private estate of the Queen. The firm offers a range of services across Wealth Management, Consulting, Merchant Banking, and Private Investments.

3. Wirtgen Invest (Single Family Office, Germany)

After selling their machinery manufacturing company to John Deere in 2017, Stefan and Jürgen Wirtgen have made a significant impact as investors. Their family office, Wirtgen Invest, has become one of the most active in Germany, standing out with a well-diversified portfolio. Wirtgen Invest is involved in developing and investing in high-end real estate, making global investments in renewable energy, participating in private equity, and staying active in the capital markets.

4. HQ Trust (Multi Family Office, Germany)

The German Harald Quandt family amassed significant wealth in the post-World War II era. Beginning in 1973, the family began selling off its industrial assets. In 1981, they founded Harald Quandt Holding as a single-family office, which expanded in 1988 to serve other families, transitioning into a multi-family office. HQ Trust, as it operates today, was established in 2006 and has since become a leading multi-family office. The family office is involved in traditional asset classes such as equities and funds, as well as alternative investments, including private debt, real estate, private equity, and hedge funds.

5. COFRA Holding (Single Family Office, Switzerland)

The Brenninkmeijer family’s wealth originated from their founding of the textile retailer C&A. Today, their diverse investment activities are consolidated under COFRA Holding. Within this structure, Anthos Fund & Asset Management oversees the family’s professional asset management, while Bregal Investments operates as a prominent private equity firm. Redevco manages real estate investments, and Sunrock focuses on renewable energy projects. Additionally, COFRA Holding is actively involved in philanthropy and impact investing.
