Our comparative research provides our private clients with relevant data to support their decision-making.
Upholding the strictest levels of confidentiality, Cambridge Associates maintains a wealth of client data that we leverage for comparative purposes to inform our recommendations and provide a framework within which our clients can make educated decisions.
Comparative Asset Allocation Study
Each year, Cambridge Associates conducts a comprehensive study of our private clients’ asset allocation compared to peers across a wide range of asset classes including traditional securities and alternative investments (e.g., hedge funds, private equity, and inflation hedging). While we recognize the variability of client objectives, spending needs, and risk tolerance, client feedback suggests the study provides a meaningful benchmark for asset allocation decision-making.
Family Office Governance and Compensation Study
Recently, Cambridge Associates conducted a comparative study of the compensation practices of family offices with assets greater than $1 billion. The study, which included over 30 single-family offices overseeing more than $100 billion worldwide, sought to understand the overall compensation structure for senior leadership positions as well as organizational structures and investment practices. Specifically, the study looked at the components of compensation for 11 key positions within family offices and provided deep analysis that survey participants could use for benchmarking their office structure and compensation practices.
