List of 5 large Multi-Family Offices in Europe

Multi-family offices play a significant role in the European investment landscape, managing billions of euros of capital. While some family offices are taking over the entire portfolio management for their clients, others are more focused on consulting families and serving as neutral advisors. We are introducing you to five major family offices from our European family office database.

1. Square Capital (UK, France, Monaco)

The London-, Paris- and Monaco-based asset management firm Square Capital is focused on families and UNHWI’s. The multi-family office was launched in 2007 and now has over €1.5BN billion assets under management and advisory. The family office invests in equities, fixed income, hedge funds, commodities, as well as private equity, venture capital, real estate, farmland, and private debt.

2. Stanhope Capital (UK)

Interestingly, London-based Stanhope Capital does not call 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 its merger 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 13 billion of assets through 4 offices and 65 employees. The firm was founded in 2006. Among the founders were Jacques-Antoine Ormond and François-Michel Ormond, whose wealth management roots date back to 1875. The family office is based on Swiss-typical high confidentiality and long-term financial planning.

4. UBS Global Family Office (Switzerland)

The Swiss private bank UBS is among Europe’s leading financial institutions, with over USD 1.1 trillion in invested assets. Its family office unit, “UBS Global Family Office,” is well-known and has been heavily expanding over the last few years. The family office offers its clients mainly investment services. It separates its services in four major fields: “Core Business”, “Investment Portfolio”, “Strategic Investments” and “Financing”. For example, it helps 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 $ 2.5 billion of aggregated wealth. Together, the multi-family office manages more than $29BN.

5. HQ Trust (Germany)

From the single-family office of the German Harald Quandt family, the well-known HQ Trust multi-family office was established. The multi-family office invests on behalf of its wealthy family clients in various asset classes, including equities, debt, real estate, and private equity.
