Mexico
Mexico's family office landscape splits between Mexico City's national financial capital and Monterrey's industrial conglomerate wealth, increasingly reinforced by USMCA-driven nearshoring investment and a notably wealth-tax-free regime.

Introduction
Mexico hosts one of Latin America's most industrially rooted family office markets, anchored by Monterrey's steel, manufacturing, and beverage conglomerates and Mexico City's role as the country's financial and regulatory center. Nearshoring under USMCA has accelerated a new wave of manufacturing-linked wealth creation, even as most family capital still traces back to multi-generational industrial holdings rather than first-generation liquidity events.
