Asia-Pacific family offices lead global peers in returns, most bullish on AI investments: Citi
Region has highest share of family offices with gains above 15% – more than double the global figure
Asia-Pacific family offices have outperformed global peers in 2026, according to Citi Wealth's Global Family Office Report. Over 26% of Asia-Pacific family offices reported returns above 15% in the year-to-date, compared to just 12% of global family offices. The region's leaders are also the most optimistic about artificial intelligence, with 80% identifying AI as a prime area for direct investments.
This enthusiasm has yet to translate into widespread operational changes within Asia-Pacific family offices, with only a small percentage implementing AI at an advanced or transformational level. Meanwhile, global concerns for family offices have shifted to the stability of the financial system and market volatility, with 62% of Asia-Pacific family offices adopting active management and hedging strategies due to heightened market volatility.
