Family Offices: The Investment firms of Europe’s High Net Worth Families

The fortune of most European high net worth families is invested through dedicated investment firms, so-called family offices. Family offices have several advantages over usual wealth managers and private banks: no fees have to be paid and the families have more control over the specific investment strategy and the management of their funds. Often, family members are also actively involved in the management of their wealth.

Difference between European single and multi family offices

There are three types of family offices in Europe: single family offices (SFOs), multi family offices (MFOs) and single family offices that also opened up for external investors. Single family offices usually only invest the money of one family. Often, a family member is also managing the single family office. The SFO team is relatively small but carefully selected: high-profile money managers and investment managers with industry experience and prestigious degrees or MBAs. For certain services, like taxes or law topics, external consultants are hired. Multi family offices, on the other hand, manage the wealth of multiple wealthy families. Often, multi family offices are external service providers. They either offer own portfolio management services, or they only act in a consulting role: advising on asset manager selection (through so-called beauty contests), taking care of reporting, risk management and accounting. Often, also single family offices open up over the course of time for other families. A famous example is the Quandt family office in Germany, which also allows third-party families to invest alongside the family. Today, the family office is one of the largest multi family offices in Germany.

History of Family Offices in Europe

Family offices are a rather new phenomenon in Europe’s investment landscape. Probably the first family office was established by the Rockefeller family office in the United States. Two hundred years ago on the other side of the big pond, most wealthy families in Europe relied on private banks. Today, some private banks turned in multi family offices, while more and more families decide to open up their own family office. This makes especially sense when the family has a net worth above €100M.

Where are Europe’s family offices located?

There are a few countries in Europe where most family offices are located: UK, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Benelux and Scandinavia. Between the countries, there are different trends visible. While in rather capital-centric countries like UK or France, the family offices are located in the capital, other countries like Germany have rather a wide distribution of family offices. In UK, almost all family offices (single as well as multi family offices) are located in London. In France, the same applies for Paris. Whereas in Switzerland, there are multiple centers for family offices, like Geneva, Zurich or Zug.

Frequently asked questions about...

... our data.

Our experienced research team uses various sources for data retrieval and for finding new relevant family offices: we analyze global investment news, we are in close contact with our network of family offices and investment professionals, we build sophisticated web crawling technologies and we investigate which family office is behind which deal.

Our family office lists include general email addresses, phone numbers, URLs, executive names and postal addresses. Our database does not contain “hidden” personal contact details, since that would violate European privacy laws (GDPR). In some cases, when personal contact details are provided by family offices or are publicly available, they might be included in our lists. Due to the short lines of communication at family offices, our clients have had very good experiences in using the contact details provided to get in touch with the investment managers.

Our lists only include publicly available data or data provided directly by family offices. Thereby, we don’t offer personal (GDPR relevant) data, but save you months of research of identifying the most important family offices.

“N.a.” means that the specific information is not available. In case we know that firm XY is a relevant family office, but we only know its address, phone number and that it for sure invests in real estate we will fill out every known detail. The rest of the fields will be filled with “n.a.”. If you want to know the exact coverage (e.g. how many entries come with executive names) please either look on the website or get in touch with us. We are happy to give you detailed coverage statistics
