Family offices are clamoring for AI investments

Family offices, managing $5.5 trillion in 2024 and projected to reach $9.5 trillion by 2030, are shifting toward direct and secondary investments in AI companies, preferring single-name deals that can triple returns in months over traditional venture funds. UBS’s 2026 report shows 42% of average portfolios in alternative assets, while PwC data indicates a recent rebound in deal volume after a 53% drop in 2023.
