Family offices have had to professionaliserapidly as a result of their growth but also because of both market andclient demand. But what should not be forgotten is that no matter howinstitutionalised systems, processes and governance become, we’re stilltalking about the assets of families.

Family members moving or living abroad was the most popular reason (84%), followed by tax and regulatory issues (49%) and reducing riskposed by geopolitical issues (31%).

One of the biggest drivers changing the profile of family offices is the geographic dispersal of families. For UHNWIs the world can be a small place, easily navigated andavailable depending on any given desire or need, whether business or personal. 60% of respondents to our survey said they had opened up to two more physicaloffices in different jurisdictions in the last five years. Global mobility is a trend – 61% of respondents said they had seen an increase in family members having different or multiple citizenships in the last five years,or an increase in them residing in different countries. And why not? For many families and UHNWIs mobility is one of the greatest luxuries afforded by wealth,personal and lifestyle needs can be best met in different countries, cities or locations. Situating your family office where you most regularly are is a logical move,and one that we’ve worked with many intermediaries and end clientson achieving. It’s not a stretch to say that this is now the norm; 96% ofrespondents to our survey have more than one physical office. How many physical offices does yourfamily office have?
