BOSTON, Oct. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Campden Wealth, in conjunction with UBS, is proud to announce the North American launch of the fifth annual, Global Family Office Report 2018, in Boston on November 27th. We surveyed 311 family office principals and executives, averaging an $808M AUM (in USD).
What are some of the key findings we uncovered?
- 121% increase in family office investment performance – up to returns averaging 15.5%
- Private equity tops portfolio allocations at 22%, up 4 percentage points from last year
- Roughly two in five family offices invest in sustainable ventures and deals, while nearly half of the surveyed offices look to increase their sustainable allocations in the next 12 months
What do these stats mean for multigenerational families?
Families continue to allocate more to equities (up to 28%) and real estate direct investments (up to 17%), while simultaneously decreasing allotments to areas like hedge, compared to the previous year's report. UHNW families expressed concern over hedge fund returns which explains some of this divestment, especially while other allocations have provided excellent results.
"As we enter the turn of the decade, family wealth is growing at a faster pace than we have ever seen before," said Brien Biondi, President of Campden Wealth.
The rise of impact investments
Roughly one-third of families are currently investing in impactful ventures, while half plan on increasing their focus in this area over the next 12 months.
Impact investment maven Katie Kalvoda told Campden that "the reward is much greater when a for-profit company you invest in is extremely successful, while also making a direct contribution to society."
Biondi added, "Leading families are the reason we are seeing an eradication of the world's major diseases, cutting-edge inventions, and the things that will change the lives of generations to come."
"This year's report is a sign that the market is not just prosperous and booming. Despite anticipated downturns, these significant families are finding ways to keep earnings strong, while still making a positive impact for future generations," Biondi continued.
Where can you get a complimentary copy of this report?
Campden is pleased to offer the unique opportunity to meet 95+ family office peers in a confidential, safe harbor environment, along with a free copy of this report. Join Campden at the 13th North American Family Office Conference in Boston from November 26th-28th.
