Welcome to the 29th edition of Family Office Growth News.
This month is about decision posture and preparation.
In the latest Founders & Fortunes feature, Dr. Ian Turnipseed breaks down what degrades first under pressure and how practiced communicators regain control in real time.
The Monthly Pulse captures where families are placing chips in 2026: geographic resilience, liquidity-first positioning in public markets, and peer-driven framing ahead of formal advisory.
Let’s dive in. ⬇️

🗓️ January 2026 Monthly Pulse
1. Bloomberg: Family Offices continue to activate global structures
In the January 2026 Family Office Focus, Bloomberg's Ben Stupples reports that ultra-wealthy families are expanding beyond traditional hubs like New York, London, and Hong Kong, building multi-location footprints across places such as Dubai and Singapore.
Higher taxes, regulatory uncertainty, and geopolitical fragmentation are forcing families to actively operate across jurisdictions. The tradeoff is complexity. Governance strain, cultural distance, and slower decision-making are increasingly being accepted as the cost of resilience.
2. Reuters: Public Market Exposure is being Sized for Flexibility
Reuters reports a sharp slowdown in global equity inflows as geopolitical friction pushed capital into bonds and traditional hedges like gold.
For Family Offices, the signal is optionality. Public market exposure is being managed to preserve liquidity and dry powder rather than maximize near-term returns, positioning families for future dislocations.
3. TIGER 21: Peer Learning as a Complement to Advisory
In a January 2026 guest blog for TIGER 21, Family Office Chair Tommy Mayes highlights how UHNW principals are using peer conversations to frame decisions earlier in the process.
The advantage is control. Peers provide hindsight while options remain reversible, allowing families to define the problem before external incentives and frameworks enter. The discipline lies in knowing when to invite outside voices in.
