Succession planning, talent attraction and retention and tech innovation were some of the top challenges for family offices.

NEW YORK, NY, May 7, 2024 - AlTi Global, Inc. ("AlTi" or "AlTi Tiedemann Global") (NASDAQ: ALTI), a leading independent global wealth manager with over $70 billion in combined assets, announces the launch of its inaugural Family Office Operational Excellence Report, developed in partnership with Campden Wealth. The 2024 Family Office Operational Excellence Report explores the inner workings of single family offices amid increasingly complex business challenges and the factors impacting their operations.

Key findings include:

  • Family office costs range from $1mm for the smallest family offices to $3.6-mm for the mid-tier offices and on average $11-mm for the large family offices.

  • The vast majority (80%) of family members value their dedicated staff, but most of them (70%) report real difficulty recruiting new talent and (65%) have real concerns about staff retention.

  • The majority of C-level executives and family members are satisfied with how the family office operates but those levels of satisfaction decline noticeably as size shrinks.

  • While the majority of families want their family office to persist for many generations to come, only a little more than half of them (57%) have succession plans in place and many of those are incomplete, not documented or only informally discussed and agreed on.

  • All family offices polled have made major investments in their tech stack, but only a quarter (26%) claim to have leading-edge solutions for investing and operations.

Conducted between April and September 2023, the survey garnered responses from 98 family offices, primarily based in North America, managing an average of US $1.4 billion in assets. Respondents were segmented into three tiers based on assets under management (AUM): small (sub $250mm), medium ($250 to $1bn), and large (over $1bn). Key focus areas include operational costs, staffing, outsourcing, technology, operational risk management, succession planning, governance documentation, and satisfaction.

Erik Christoffersen, Head of Family Office Practice, AlTi Tiedemann Global commented:
"We are delighted to share the findings of our inaugural Family Office Operational Excellence Report. With the significant expansion of services family offices are being asked to deliver, the need for professionalization and accountability in achieving optimal outcomes has never been more pressing. However, the unique and private nature of family offices makes it challenging for family offices to generate reliable benchmarking data and insights into how other offices operate. We hope this report provides this key data in a relevant and actionable way."

Adam Ratner, Director of Research at Campden Wealthcommented:
"The findings of the 2024 Family Office Operational Excellence Report underscore the imperative for family offices to adapt and professionalize in response to evolving dynamics. By prioritizing operational excellence and embracing transparent governance structures, family offices can navigate complexities and achieve sustainable success."
