In recent years, Family Offices have become a potent force in the global Private Equity class. Many growing companies have come to see Family Offices as a uniquely valuable source of funding. In turn, FOs are increasingly investing in companies to create a new avenue for long-term growth and wealth appreciation.
Moreover, Family Offices are co-investing alongside private equity sponsors as partners in deals. This way, family offices share the due diligence and risk management burden. It also allows them to gain exposure to the best deal flow while leveraging the expertise and resources of the private equity firm, who they may be allocators in.
