Announcement: We released our Family Office Private Markets Benchmark Report 2024
📊 Chart of the Month
Powered by GPFO Research
One of the key areas of research in the GPFO Family Office Private Markets Benchmark Report 2024 is around Co-Investment. This is a theme that has emerged as a key strategy for family offices seeking enhanced returns and greater control over their portfolios. But anecdotally we have heard a division over definitions of co-investment, for the first time we collected data on this to validate. We found significant diversity in what family offices considered ‘co-investment’, as shown in the chart above.
