Family Office Benchmarking Study 2021
There are various family office-focused reports released annually, or on an ad-hoc basis, that help industry professionals identify emerging trends in the market or simply serve as a benchmarking tool for industry standards.
At Simple, we are aware of how challenging it has previously been to know what other players are doing in the family office space, which can make it more difficult to include external perspectives when making decisions. This was one of the reasons we have begun releasing our annual reports – to address this and help bridge the gap between decision-making and knowledge. We also refer to family office reports from other industry leaders, because the strength of this industry relies on the expertise and viewpoints of various resources.
We’re rounding up our collection of reviews, as well as the reports we look out for every year.
