Global Family Offices Expand Multi-Jurisdiction Structures as Geopolitics Reshapes Wealth Strategies

Global family offices are expanding multi-jurisdiction structures as geopolitical uncertainty reshapes wealth strategies.

Deloitte data shows 28% of firms operated multiple branches in 2024, with a further 12% planning expansion.

The rise in global family offices reflects growing demand for operational resilience as wars, sanctions and tax changes disrupt markets.

JPMorgan noted geopolitics ranks among the top five risks for 74% of family offices outside the US.

Advisers said global family offices are moving from simplification towards deliberate structural complexity to enhance flexibility, secure regulatory advantages and protect against disruptions in any single market.
