At the beginning of 2021, First Republic Bank and Oper8r surveyed family offices across the United States and globally to get a better understanding of their investment strategies, primarily how they invest in venture capital (VC) funds and make co-investments. Of the family offices we surveyed, the key findings include:

• Family office allocation to VC more than doubled year-over-year.
• 20% of family offices exclusively invest in emerging VCs (versus a mix of established and emerging).
• 75% of family office LPs are interested in investing in a first-time fund.
• About 90% of family offices are making co-investments, with the most active family office making 20 investments per year.

Take a look at the full report to view the results.

And, the 2021 survey is open now: Take the 2021 Family Office Survey
