TOPIC OF THE QUARTER
What mattered most to your peers
Family Offices move into focus.
Family Offices are becoming increasingly attractive — both as employers and as clients for Asset Managers and Private Markets firms.
But winning them is not easy. Access is highly relationship-driven and built over years, giving senior Sales and Investor Relations professionals with established networks a clear advantage.
Topics like the OCIO model (Outsourced CIO) are gaining relevance. Family Offices and other LPs and could become an important client segment for these solutions — an area where we have gained first-hand insights from both clients and candidates.
FROM OUR DESK
I am not looking.
But I am listening.
Candidates receive more approaches from headhunters than ever. They engage when there is trust, a genuine relationship and an understanding of their ambitions.
In a world of AI, personal relations and trust are key. We have those relationships.
