Private equity remains the top choice for US family offices, with over half viewing it as the best wealth-creation opportunity ahead of direct stakes, equities, and real estate. It accounts for 27.2% of their alternatives portfolios on average. Moreover, 59% plan to increase their private equity exposure over the next one to three years.
One executive at a $1bn–$5bn office noted fewer public listings are driving more private market opportunities, calling it a diversification play. Despite growing allocations, many now believe the best deals will come from peer family offices rather than traditional PE firms, signaling a shift toward collaborative dealmaking within the private capital ecosystem.
