Asia Family Office Sustainable Investment Allocations Rise Sharply

Asia family office sustainable investment allocations are rising, with more family offices committing substantial portions of their portfolios to impact and environmental, social and governance strategies.

A Sustainable Finance Initiative survey of 121 family office representatives and principal asset owners found that 27% allocated more than half of their portfolios to sustainable investments in 2026, up from 17% a year earlier.

Overall, 58% invested more than 10% of portfolios in sustainable strategies, compared with 56% in 2025. Meanwhile, the proportion relying on isolated, single-asset sustainability investments declined to 13% from 18%.

SFi Chief Executive Katy Yung said the market is increasingly divided between established investors adopting portfolio-wide approaches and newer participants testing smaller allocations.

Family offices are particularly seeking institutional investment structures focused on climate resilience, financial inclusion and biodiversity opportunities across Asian markets.
