PwC’s Global NextGen Survey 2024 is an international market survey among next-generation members of family businesses.

Family Offices are constantly changing and progressing. In stark contrast to their traditional image, they’re increasingly agile, innovative and forward-thinking investors and protectors of family wealth, actively seeking out new opportunities and strategies, and playing an ever more important role in a widening range of markets and asset classes.
In this annual study based on information on more than 11,000 family offices worldwide we provide a detailed examination of the transactional behaviour of family offices in deals of all types, underlining their growing importance and influence in the global economy and investment environment. In a changing world, family offices are a group of investors with their eyes firmly fixed on the future.
