List of the 700 largest Multi Family Offices Europe [2023 Update]

List of 3 large Multi Family Offices in Europe

Multi family offices play a major role in the European investment landscape, managing billions of euros of capital. We are introducing you to five major family offices from our European family office database.

1. UBS Global Family Office (Switzerland)

The Swiss private bank UBS belongs to Europe’s leading financial institutions with over USD 1.1 trillion of invested assets. Its family office unit “UBS Global Family Office” is well-known and heavily expanding throughout the last few years. The family office offers its client mainly investing services. It separates its services in four major fields: “Core Business”, “Investment Portfolio”, “Strategic Investments” and “Financing”. For example, it helps the family businesses in M&A cases, corporate financing and capital market topics. In its investment division, it offers trading and infrastructure services as well as “tailored investment solutions”. Also private deals in real estate and private equity are part of UBS’ family office strategy.

Update 2023: In Luxembourg, Stanhope agreed to merge with Arche Associates to expand its Benelux operations. The firm oversees more than $2.5BN of aggregated wealth. Together, the multi family office manages more than $29BN.

2. Stanhope Capital (UK)

Interestingly, London-based Stanhope Capital nowhere calls itself a family office. However, the “wealth management and advisory” firm is one of Europe’s most-renowned multi family offices with more than USD 24 billion under management. In 2020, the firm announced to merge with FWM Holdings. FWM is the parent company of the Forbes Family Trust, whose owner family is known for its publications. Clients of Stanhope include the Duchy of Lancaster, which is the private estate of the Queen. Stanhope differentiates its services in Wealth Management, Consulting, Merchant Banking and Private Investments.

3. 1875 Finance (Switzerland)

The Swiss multi family office 1875 manages more than CHF 11 billion of assets through 4 offices and 65 employees. The firm was founded in 2006. Amongst the founders were Jaques-Antoine Ormond and Francois-Michel Ormond, whose wealth management roots go back to 1875. The family office is based on Swiss-typical high confidentiality and long-term financial planning.

HNWI investment landscape in Europe

As one of the richest continents, Europe plays a predominant role when it comes to wealth and wealth management. Many wealthy entrepreneurial families are relying on multi family offices, which are pooling the assets of multiple families. Investments are done through external asset manager, own funds or alternative investments.

Database of European Multi-Family Offices

Wealth management plays a huge role in Europe, home to many of wealthiest families and individuals. Here the Multi-Family Offices play a distinguished role, managing those assets and being a point of reference for partners, private equity firms, start-ups and other institutions offering investment opportunities. The research department at familyofficehub.io compiled this database of the over 400 Multi-Family Offices Europe from 19 countries all throughout the continent. It facilitates reaching out to wealth managers of HNWIs (High net worth individuals) and affluent families. It has never been easier to purchase the database via our webshop and procure a handy excel file. Clients are able to spot without any obstacles the relevant companies from Budapest to Madrid. Among our satisfied clients are asset managers, wealthy families, consultants and financial experts among others who make use of the database from day-to-day.

Focus on asset management, consulting or banking-related services

We make the use of our list as intuitive as possible, saving our clients’ time. One column, therefore, divides the family offices into three groups – Asset Management, Consulting and Bank Related Services. What do we mean by these three categories? The first category: management of assets, meaning that the Multi-Family Offices actively make decisions on behalf of their wealthy clients regarding a whole scope of investment opportunities including the capital market, real estate, private equity or other opportunities such as venture capital in start-ups. The Multi-Family Offices with an emphasis on consulting, only advice their customers regarding the management of their investments. Here the involvement varies depending on the offered services but mainly on the customer’s needs. In the narrowest sense, it can include only advisory regarding investment opportunities but can cover also concierge services, financial life plans, legal advice, buying of art, consultancy of M&A deals, planning of inheritance among many others. The difference to the first category is that the decision is always made by the client, not the Office.  The last category consists of a different type of enterprise because it is a branch of a bank. European Banks have entered the service sector of single- and multi-family offices, opening their own bank-related family offices since it has become a growing financial sector in the last decades.
