Family Office news roundup
Why the family office model is gaining share. Family offices have become a force in wealth management because they can offer structural advantages that traditional wealth and asset managers can’t match, and demand is growing fast - FT Adviser

Strong decision processes, clear roles, and disciplined deliberation quietly compound value - Family Wealth Report

It’s less about alpha and more about stickiness, with firms trying to embed themselves deeper - Wealth Management

The driver is scale and scrutiny: more money, more complexity, and less tolerance for mistakes - PWM
