For centuries, ultra-wealthy families have been relying on dedicated teams to manage their financial affairs. These teams’ methods, operational scopes, and sophistication have evolved significantly in response to economic shifts, technological advances, and evolving global opportunities.

According to the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN), in 2024 there were more than $1 trillion in assets under management allocated towards achieving social and environmental benefits alongside financial returns.

Managing a family’s wealth has never been more challenging. Portfolio complexity is rising along with expectations for transparency, digital access, and compliance readiness. For family office professionals, traditional approaches involving periodic meetings to review spreadsheets and documentation are no longer sufficient.

In February 2025, when US President Trump signed an executive order to formulate a plan for creating a federal-level sovereign wealth fund (SWF), it highlighted a growing recognition of the importance of such financial structures when it comes to preserving and growing national wealth management. With trillions under management, SWFs often demonstrate remarkable resilience during economic downturns and market volatility.
