Family Offices Cite Inflation as Top Concern Amid Continued Focus on Stocks

According to the 2026 Global Family Office Report by Citi Wealth, inflation is now the leading concern for family offices worldwide. Despite these worries, stocks remain a favored asset class among these ultra-wealthy investors. The survey, which included responses from 351 family offices across 41 countries, found that 46% had increased their exposure to public equities in the past year. Looking ahead, 37% of participants said they expect to further increase their holdings in developed-market equities over the next year. The report reflects source-reported trends and sentiment within a segment of high-net-worth investors, offering a window into shifting preferences amid ongoing economic uncertainty. While investment in digital assets, blockchain, or other alternative asset classes was not specifically detailed in the available report summary, the findings highlight a general preference for traditional equity markets in the face of inflation concerns.
