The rise of family offices in Germany

Recent statistics show a notable increase in fundraising, strategic deployment, and successful exits within the family office sector. Family offices globally have started to move funds allocated to real estate towards start-ups, with the top ten family offices and family-backed investment companies investing in start-ups dominated by US and German players, including Germany’s Samwers’ Global Founders Capital and Picus Capital. Panellists will debate:

• How are family offices strategically deploying capital? Are there distinctive investment strategies or preferences emerging?
• Can you highlight specific successful strategies employed by family offices for profitable exits?
• To what extent are family offices collaborating with traditional private equity firms in deal sourcing and execution?
• Are there anticipated shifts of developments that may further shape the trajectory of family office engagement?
