Verticals

Overview

Family Office Services covers single- and multi-family offices providing comprehensive wealth management — investments, tax, estate, philanthropy, and administration — to ultra-high-net-worth families. The number of family offices has grown rapidly with global wealth creation, especially from technology and private-business liquidity.

Multi-family offices and outsourced-CIO providers have scaled to serve more families, and the segment increasingly competes with RIAs and private banks for UHNW relationships. It is a fragmented, relationship- and trust-driven market with growing institutional capability.

Market snapshot

No discrete Census NAICS code — family offices sit within portfolio management (523940) and trust/fiduciary classifications, so the segment is not separately sized by the Census Bureau.
