BlackRock research conducted with Preqin surveyed more than 200 single-family offices and identified portfolio changes as market risks evolve. The research highlighted continued private-market prioritization, differing investment approaches between newer and established family offices, and governance as a leading challenge alongside succession, globalization and AI. The findings were framed against an estimated $124 trillion wealth transfer to heirs and charities between 2024 and 2048, supporting long-term demand for private-market and wealth-management solutions.
