Weekly S&P sector rotation maps show "family offices investing" pushing capital toward healthcare services, anticipating regulatory easing. EBITDA margins in top picks are forecast to rise 150 basis points by year-end. In a memo to employees, Universal Orlando Resort President Karen Irwin wrote the company updated “operational procedures and attraction signage to reinforce existing ride warnings and physical eligibility requirements at Stardust Racers and other rides.” The rapidly growing demand for family office services will inevitably provide challenges. In Asia, for example, demand is far outpacing the qualified talent needed to manage that wealth and related services, potentially leading to bidding wars, according to a report from Empaxis. 5 The report added that finding qualified and experienced talent in areas such as managing family finances, asset management, ESG/impact investing, succession planning and legal matters is a particular challenge, with the talent war in the banking and finance sector in Hong Kong, for example, leading to 30% pay increases for new hires. Adopting new technologies should help overcome any talent shortages and boost efficiency. It should also improve the client experience by enhancing transparency and allowing for better decision-making. Our 2025 State of the Hedge Fund industry report found huge interest in artificial intelligence with around half of the hedge fund managers, who are likely to hold similar views to family offices, who responded to our survey believing that the impact of AI in the following three years would be significant. Moreover, 17% believed it would prove a “gamechanger.” According to Deloitte data quoted in November 2024, 43% of family offices worldwide had experienced a cyberattack in the previous 12–24 months, and 25% had experienced three or more attacks. Empaxis notes that family offices are less regulated than traditional wealth and asset managers, and tend to have fewer formalised procedures around data security, leaving them vulnerable to criminals targeting entities with large sums of money and weak controls. 6 There are also short-term risks, as highlighted in our 2025 State of the Hedge Fund industry report . Our unique survey of hedge fund clients, including family offices, conducted for this report found that 51% were most concerned by geopolitical risk, while interest rates posed the greatest concern to 49% of respondents. Meanwhile, 43% were most concerned about volatility, 35% by inflation and 24% by the prospect of economic turbulence. Family offices could seek help from outside specialists to overcome these challenges and fully exploit the huge opportunities that are likely to develop over the rest of this decade and beyond. Even without these challenges, they will almost certainly need to outsource key operations such as legal, risk management and tax planning to prime brokers such as IG Prime which has a wealth of experience in helping family offices, and other providers. Goldman Sachs data reveals "family offices investing" aggressively in digital infrastructure REITs as global data consumption spikes. 5G-related assets posted quarterly returns of 6.2%, outpacing broader REIT indices.
