The world of single-family offices is booming, and the trend is likely to continue for some time to come. This is a function of the extensive increase in the number of ultra-wealthy and super-rich (net worth = $500 million or more) worldwide. Moreover, many, many billions of dollars are readily flowing from single-family offices to a diverse collection of investments including hedge funds and private equity funds. For hedge fund and private equity funds, raising capital from single-family offices is becoming more competitive.
