SINGAPORE may see a slowdown in the growth of the number of family offices ahead as the Republic shifts towards attracting wealthier families.
The number of single family offices (SFOs) in Singapore exceeded 2,000 in 2024, a 42.9 per cent jump from the 1,400 recorded in 2023. The growth last year was also almost double of the 1,100 added in 2022.
Yet observers believe that this growth could slow in the coming years, given Singapore’s move to tighten regulations in the sector. Some even think the overall number could eventually shrink.
