Family offices are scheduled to grow at a fast pace, as a heavy look at personalized services for processing their wealth. But they are struggling to find money executives.
As of September last September, according to Deloitte’s recent statistics, there were 8,3030 family offices that managed assets of 3.1 trillion. Dollars. By 2030, the number of family offices is expected to grow to 10 720 from 5.4 trillion. Assets under their leadership.
“We believe that by 2034, at the level of modern performance advisor (abundance), the workforce will decrease by the moment when the industry faces a shortage of about 100,000 advisers,” said McKise February.
As depending on Report on North America’s Family Office RBC and Campden Wealth, released in September last year, a considerable number of family offices reported that the job was “big problem” and expressed difficulties in recruiting and holding staff. The same for European family offices.
Meanwhile, family offices in growing Asian wealth centers, such as Singapore, resort to work process automation and outsourcing with -wind A talent deficit in the city-state.
Family offices also have to compete with banks, private capital and hedge fund for high talents.
However, the talent, however, is not only borrowed from the lack of qualified candidates – it is also selectivity on the part of family offices.
Trouble confidence
While the potential candidate is difficult to enter the family office, some family offices may also be specific when it comes to choosing the perfect device. Key criteria: trust.
“Why the chief gave the accounting money? Because they have a lifetime relationship,” said Tobias Press, head of the PRESTEL and partner conference.
“It is not often the best person to get a job in the family office room, but the one who trusts,” he said CNBC. “If you have $ 500 million to whom do you trust?
If you have $ 500 million to whom you trust? To whom do you give the key to everything? This is not a simple solution.

Some families tend to make a huge focus on confidence factors for other criteria, said Reto Jah, Sz & J partner. Although it can be a good thing, sometimes it can harm the work, he added.
Family offices Often, they seek to combine roles such as CUM CEO, where they hope to find the ideal person’s right hand, said Iris X, founder of the accounting and corporate service Jenga, who hires full -time specialists and contract specialists for family offices in Singapore.
“This is a very high order. Whether very little professionals are ready and able to cover all these areas,” she said.
However, wealthy activate their game to achieve the right talent. And sometimes it means being prepared to pay a “delta trust” or a salary premium, especially if the family wants someone to work on them, said Jah, especially In climate where family offices are willing to pay up to $ 190,000 a year for executive assistants.
European family offices are collecting compensation packages to save and attract talents by offering bonuses and other incentives such as joint investment opportunities and a share of investment profits, A, A, A A separate Campden Wealth and HSBC report showed.
“Risky” business
Young employees are reluctant to work in family offices for reasons, including the lack of accurate corporate structure, as well as how it is widely perceived as “pensioner work”, experts in the CNBC said.
Family offices may look “risky” for potential staff who take into account their relatively non -formal structure, incomprehensible reporting lines and uncertain career progress, XU Jenga said.
Xu added that the roles related to investment in family offices are usually more difficult to fill compared to other roles, and the level of turnover is largely between one to two years.
“In the corporate world, in the end, all this is impossible, including the CEO,” Jauch Sz & J. said.
There is another kind of personality that works well in such conditions: you must support your ego under control to work in a family office environment.
This is different from working in a family office where the family is central and permanent, he explained, which is hiring and planning continuity for family offices. Working and finding a Beck and a call of one family requires a complex balance that is not always easy to strike.
“There is another person who works well in the following conditions: you must support your ego under control to work in the family office environment, but you should also be sure enough to bring your opinion to the fore,” Jaha explained.
“This balance between the opportunity to talk to your family as an advisor, in the role you have with your family, but also realizing that it will always be a family decision. It does not leave,” he added.
That is why John, a lawyer in the mid-40’s, who did not want to share his true name, refused to accept the proposal for work as a general lawyer in a family office based in Singapore, and said it was like “put all the eggs in one basket.”
“Perhaps you will not be very good with this person, you may not do it. But for someone on my career (then) with your family and various commitments it was too much personal risk … If mostly one person can decide me just to fire,” he said.
John also cited the potential lack of transparency and process around the debate and promotion, as well as among other reasons to give up role.
The lawyer who worked at the investment bank at this moment was also concerned that the work in the family office at a relatively early stage of her career would make her return to the corporate world.
Jauch suggests that work in the family office can be useful if “you need to want to be part of something. And you are fine when your progress is more in content and possibly on the quality and professional side, but not necessarily in terms of career stages.”
