WealthBriefing and Family Wealth Report now publish four indispensable quality assured online databases on the important and lucrative SFO market in partnership with the specialist research company, Highworth Research.
The online databases provide detailed profiles of single family offices both regionally and globally.
Representing the investments of the wealthiest families globally, SFOs are growing in number and represent assets under management in the $ trillions. Yet most SFOs stay under the radar and access to them is very restricted.

- Family offices, also known as private investment offices, for an individual or a single family with AuM ranging from $50 million to over $25 billion
- Sovereign family offices for a member of a ruling family of certain countries
- Family-owned investment companies, the role of which is to invest in a range of enterprises as well as in the capital markets
- A small number of “double-single” family offices where two families have partnered to form a joint family office which is closed to other families
What data is included on each family office?
