40 Single Family Offices in Europe (2025)

The family offices in this list range from long-established, multi-generational entities to newer, entrepreneur-founded platforms, united by their ability to provide patient capital and deep sector expertise. Many are anchored in historic financial hubs like London, Zurich, Luxembourg, Paris, Geneva, and Milan, while others emerge from newer centers of influence such as Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Warsaw, and Valletta. Despite their European roots, their reach is global, with active portfolios spanning North America, Asia, and beyond.

Investment Focus

Strategies among these offices are diverse. Some focus on direct private equity and venture investments, backing startups and growth-stage companies in technology, healthcare, real estate, finance, and sustainability. Others emphasize wealth preservation through traditional asset classes, alternatives, and impact-driven portfolios. Notably, ESG and sustainability themes are increasingly integrated into mandates, reflecting a broader generational shift in private capital.
