List of 5 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. 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 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, farm land and private debt.

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 13 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.

4. 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.

5. HQ Trust (Germany)

Out of the single family office of the German Harald Quandt family, the well-known HQ Trust multi family office was created. The multi family office invests on behalf of its wealthy family clients in different asset classes, amongst others equities, debt, real estate and private equity.

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.
