Family Offices in Asia Boost AI Investments Despite Valuation Concerns

AI investments family offices are accelerating across Asia despite concerns over elevated valuations in US markets.

Wealthy investors deployed USD24.3bn into private AI deals in 2025, nearly tripling the previous year, with another USD950m committed by early April.

The surge in AI investments family offices reflects strong demand for exposure to leading firms such as OpenAI and Anthropic, although access challenges and valuation risks are pushing some investors toward Asian startups.

Market participants highlighted risks including opaque deal structures, illiquidity and potential down rounds, even as AI remains a core long-term investment theme.
