Globally, family offices are becoming increasingly influential players in the investment landscape, stewarding trillions of dollars in private wealth. As Asia experiences one of the largest intergenerational wealth transfers in history, understanding the evolution of these unique entities is more critical than ever. How are global trends in thematic areas, governance, investment strategy, and impact integration shaping the future of family offices, and what are the specific implications for Korea's burgeoning ecosystem?
Join IFB Seoul for a timely discussion as we welcome two distinguished representatives and advisors to some of the world's leading family offices. We will bridge global perspectives from Europe and North America with the local context, exploring how Korean and Asian family offices can navigate today's challenges and seize opportunities to align their capital with purpose.
Continuing our 2025 series on the role of Family Offices and alternative sources of capital, this Impact for Breakfast (IFB) Seoul session will feature representatives and advisors for global family offices and core IFB members representing the Korean and Asian impact ecosystem.
This in-person event is gracious hosted by the Asia Forest Cooperation Agency (AFoCO). The Mapo area venue information will be provided upon RSVP.
