Family offices in Central and Eastern Europe are increasingly being established by entrepreneurial families. These family businesses have built wealth in sectors such as manufacturing, real estate, technology, and natural resources.
These family offices focus on preserving and growing wealth across generations through diversified investments in real estate, private equity, financial markets, emerging industries, and more.
However, family offices in CEE face challenges, including a less developed local service ecosystem and complex cross-border regulations. There’s also limited access to advanced investment opportunities compared to more established Western markets.
Managing wealth continuity during generational transitions and balancing professional management with family control also remain significant concerns. All this highlights the need for specialised advisory and collaboration across regions.
This session is designed to help you understand key considerations when planning to establish a family office, optimal assets and industries to invest in, and best practices in family office management and governance.
This is the first in a series dedicated to family offices in CEE in over the next 12 months. You can also gain practical insights from representatives of family offices.
