TOMORROW’S TRADE IDEA, TODAY

It’s All in the Family

American billionaires have seen their wealth balloon 46% since 2020, according to a recent Oxfam report

As a result, family offices managing cash for the ultra-wealthy have been growing as well. A 2023 study from KPMG found that 26% of family offices manage between $251 million and $500 million in assets. 6% manage over $5 billion. 

Global trends like policy changes, inflation, and economic growth are causing family offices to shift their strategies in several ways.

What’s Changing

According to UBS, this shift includes moving funds back into fixed income, particularly short-duration. Family offices are also looking to equities in developed markets.

  • 38% of family offices plan to increase their fixed-income holdings in developed markets in 2023, representing a 22% increase.

  • 44% of offices plan to increase their equities in developed markets, indicating a 32% increase. 

The holdings that family offices are now souring on are cash and hedge funds. 30% of offices expect to decrease their holdings in cash and 17% expect to decrease their hedge fund exposure.

Japan Is Hot

As we’ve written about in this newsletter, Japanese equities are a popular choice for family offices. With almost zero demand for these stocks two years ago, Japanese stocks are currently at a 33-year high. Asset managers are taking note.

Family offices are also honing in on sectors like healthcare, energy, and AI. Many offices are also expected to turn to more real estate holdings over the next five years. 

These moves made by the ultra-rich might provide retail investors with a nice roadmap for the next few years.
