BNY Mellon Wealth Management 2022 Report: How Family Offices Are Responding to Rapid Economic & Social Change
BNY Mellon Wealth Management has released a family office report on “How Family Offices Are Responding to Rapid Economic & Social Change.” Only 3 in 10 family offices currently facilitate private banking services and family office most often uses Capital markets (brokerage services, mutual funds), cash management and credit & lending services. Succession planning is viewed as important by large family offices (over 20 employees) and most agreed that it is critical new non-family executives share the same values of the family members. In the report, 73% of family offices are involved in philanthropy, and only 1 in 4 family offices are aware of the proposed Family Office Regulation Act of 2021, which if enacted would require family offices with more than $750M in AUM to register with the United States Security Exchange Commission (SEC) as “exempt reporting advisors.” 200 online surveys were conducted by BNY Mellon Wealth Management (The Harris Poll) with 56 single family offices and 144 multi-family offices with at least $150 million in assets in Oct / Nov 2021. 50% of participants are from United States with the rest of UK, Canada, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Germany, Italy, Brazil, South Africa and in Asia-Pacific, Hong Kong, Singapore, India & Australia. The respondents are responsible for strategic investment and direction for portfolio investments. View: Report

BNY Mellon Foreword
