      Family Offices have evolved from small and intimate entities, serving the needs of a single family, into sophisticated organizations, employing some of the world’s most exceptional professionals.

      The unique and personalized nature of each Family Office can make it challenging to access benchmark remuneration data. Family Offices require a distinct skillset, incomparable to other working environments, and many professionals that Family Offices search for, have backgrounds in the very benchmarked environment of professional services and investment banking. These professionals are accustomed to a consistent and familiar compensation structure.

      The Global Family Office Compensation Benchmark Report developed in collaboration with Agreus Groupopens in a new tab features quantitative and qualitative insights into Family Office composition, and compensation structures, and provides much sought after benchmark data.

      585 Professionals from the Family Office community, spanning roles from Personal Assistants to Principals, participated in an online survey conducted by KPMG Private Enterprise and Agreus.  In addition, 20 in-depth qualitative interviews were carried out with Chief Executive Officers, Managing Directors, and senior leaders from the Family Office industry across all continents.

      The Global Family Office Compensation Benchmark report represents the combined findings from both the survey and the interviews.

      Professionalization, progress and the push for governance

      One of the most significant developments is the increasing professionalization of Family Offices, with more Family Offices now established as standalone entities. This shift marks a broader movement toward enhanced governance and a deep understanding of the role of a Family Office. Wealth preservation was the most stated objective in the report and this signals a more strategic, long-term mindset, as families focus on safeguarding their capital for future generations rather than simply managing its day-to-day deployment.

      Governance practices have evolved considerably, with Family Offices enhancing the depth and quality of their committees and reporting.

      With fewer Family Offices operating within the structure of an active business, there is a broader trend towards professionalization and the separation of personal and business assets.

      Macro economic concerns have triggered emphasis on appropriate diversification, managing liquidity and Investment governance.

      As the Family Office ecosystem matures, marked by growing professionalization and more sophisticated needs, the search for candidates that can operate beyond their job descriptions, professionals who are resourceful and adaptable and can align with the values of the family and team, become an increasing focus in the recruitment process.
