  "summary": "APAC family offices are emerging as the most active and sophisticated private investors, with strong portfolio returns and increasing exposure to AI, direct investments, and active risk management, according to Citi Wealth's 2026 Global Family Office Report. The survey of 351 family offices across 41 countries found that 26% of APAC respondents achieved year-to-date portfolio returns of more than 15%, the highest among regions surveyed, and 22% were targeting annual returns above 15%, nearly twice the global average. APAC family offices are also taking a more active approach to managing market volatility, with 62% adopting active management and 49% using hedging strategies, both above global averages.",
