Private Equity Tops Allocation Plans for Asia Family Offices: J.P. Morgan Survey

Private equity allocation by Asia family offices is set to rise as investors adapt to geopolitical risks and inflation, according to a 2026 global survey by J.P. Morgan Private Bank.

The study covered 333 family offices across 30 countries, including key Asia hubs such as Singapore and Hong Kong, and found portfolios remain heavily tilted toward public equities and private investments, which together account for more than two-thirds of assets.

About 37% of Asia family offices plan to raise private equity exposure over the next 12–18 months, while 65% are prioritising AI-related opportunities.

Despite market uncertainty, most remain cautious on cryptocurrencies and gold, with 89% and 72%, respectively, holding no exposure, underscoring a continued focus on long-term, institutional-style strategies across the region.
