If you work with several wealth managers, each sees a piece of your portfolio. But which one understands your total risk exposure? This information gap isn't a coordination problem to fix; it's a competitive advantage to exploit. Purpose-built technology can transform this asymmetry into measurable alpha.
The World Economic Forum in Davos is rarely about announcements. Its significance lies in the informal exchanges where political leaders, central bankers, regulators and corporate executives test assumptions against one another. In 2026, those conversations exposed a growing tension between ambition and institutional capacity. Across technology, finance and public policy, expectations of what systems are meant to deliver increasingly outpaced what organisations are able to govern, integrate and explain.
Family offices are undergoing a quiet revolution. As technology, global complexity, and next-gen expectations collide, the old ways of working are no longer enough. François Botha, founder of Simple and a leading voice in family office transformation, explains how modular tech, AI, and values-driven design are reshaping the model.
You know the value of your private equity stakes, your real estate holdings, your venture capital commitments. But do you know when those assets will demand — or return — capital? The difference between reactive improvisation and proactive planning isn't sophisticated treasury management. It's treating your consolidated wealth intelligence as a strategic asset. Purpose-built technology transforms fragmented holdings into forward-looking liquidity forecasts, turning cash flow management from crisis response into competitive advantage.
Each January, the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum provides a clear signal of where global systems are under strain. Davos is not where new ideas are launched. Its value lies in what it confirms. Which assumptions no longer hold, which structures are becoming harder to defend.
University endowments like Yale’s and Stanford’s consistently outperform most private portfolios, often by significant margins. The secret isn't just access to exclusive investments or brilliant managers. The real differentiator is something more fundamental: a disciplined, data-driven approach to portfolio management that treats information infrastructure as seriously as investment selection. Most families manage eight or nine-figure portfolios with tools that would be unthinkable in an institutional setting. Yet the gap is closing as purpose-built technology brings institutional-grade capabilities within reach of private wealth.
Ultra-high-net-worth individuals carefully hedge market risk, currency risk, and credit risk. They employ sophisticated advisors to protect against volatility and build diversified portfolios that can withstand geopolitical shocks. Yet many leave one their biggest operational risks completely unprotected: their wealth data.
