AI Takes Center Stage in Investment Trends
The 2026 Global Family Office Report by J.P. Morgan Private Bank reveals that artificial intelligence has become the top investment focus for family offices. According to the findings, 65% of surveyed offices list AI as a priority investment area, highlighting that despite uncertainty in traditional asset classes, tech-driven innovation remains at the core of high-net-worth investor interests.
Gold and Cryptocurrency Investments Cool Down
The report also highlights an intriguing trend: 72% of family offices do not allocate to gold, and as high as 89% explicitly state they do not hold cryptocurrency. This cautious stance may stem from concerns about market volatility and a lack of long-term confidence in emerging asset classes.
Scope of Research and Asset Allocation Preferences
Conducted across 30 countries with input from 333 family offices, the study shows an average net asset value of $1.6 billion. Most respondents lean toward investing in tangible assets and established strategies, reflecting a strong emphasis on capital preservation among family offices.
