APAC Family Office Returns Lead Global Peers, Says Citi

APAC family office returns are outperforming global peers, with 26% reporting year-to-date investment gains above 15%, double the worldwide proportion, according to Citi Wealth.

Citi’s 2026 Global Family Office Report also found that 22% of Asia-Pacific family offices target annual returns exceeding 15%, almost twice the global average.

Asia-Pacific family offices were particularly bullish on artificial intelligence.

Some 80% identified AI as a primary sector for direct investment, alongside healthcare, robotics and software.

However, adoption of the technology within family offices remains less developed. Only around four in 10 were piloting AI initiatives, while 29% reported no adoption.

Global financial-system stability and market volatility were identified as the region’s leading concerns.

Citi surveyed more than 350 family offices across over 40 countries, with Asia-Pacific family offices accounting for 22% of respondents.
