Family Office

Traditionally, salary and compensation structures, along with most other operational aspects of the family office, have remained opaque despite the growing global demand for experienced executives to manage various financial, investment, legal and service offerings within these organizations.

UBS Wealth Management launched its annual ‘Global Family Office Report’ for 2020. The big fund manager and global bank surveyed principals and executives in 121 single-family offices around the world. Those family offices handle an average total family wealth of US$1.6 billion. This represents a significantly larger dataset than that of any other comparable study, with a total of funds under management of US$142.4 billion.
