"While this may have some merit, many of them have a real appetite for structured, multi-layered deals, paired with a low tolerance for complexity they can't understand or control. Recent global family office surveys indicate substantial and sustained allocations to private equity, private credit, real estate, and other private markets, with alternatives accounting for more than half of portfolio holdings in the US and 40-50% of holdings in Europe and the Middle East."

Family offices see more access to potential deals, although challenges persist due to due diligence constraints and tight timelines. While family offices remain open to complex deals, they could see them as less appealing if they are opaque."
