Goldman Sachs recently released their 2023 Family Office Investment Insights, with insights from key decision makers at 166 global family offices. A few points of note:
- Family offices on average are allocating 44% total across alternative asset classes.
- 35% indicated that they plan to reduce their allocation to cash and cash equivalents in the next 12 months.
- 41% expect to increase their allocation to private equity in the next 12 months.
- Family offices tend to primarily invest through managers to mitigate some risk through diversification, especially in uncertain times. Many also look to invest in funds to access opportunities in specific markets that are positioned to benefit from demographic tailwinds and technology shifts.
We see this trend first-hand with a growing number of family offices leveraging Gridline to deploy capital. Although many have built internal teams, a significant majority — 61% for investing and 53% for operations — employ less than 5 dedicated employees for each function.
When thinking about the time spent sourcing and conducting diligence along with the post-investment management process (treasury and performance management, portfolio monitoring, tax reporting, etc.), that is a lean organization. At Gridline, we spend 100% of our time on these activities with 100% focus on alternatives.
Family offices are partnering with us to build diversified portfolios that can generate attractive returns and provide exposure to underrepresented sectors / strategies, all while reducing the managerial and cost burden of private investing. High quality products, experienced team, seamless experience… That’s Gridline.
