The concept of family offices—private wealth management firms that serve ultra-high-net-worth families—is expanding in Japan. Many affluent families prefer personalized wealth solutions that go beyond traditional investment management, including philanthropy advisory, tax planning, and intergenerational wealth preservation. As family offices gain popularity, wealth management firms that specialize in catering to these clients can establish a strong foothold in the market.
With Tokyo’s increasing number of billionaires and high-net-worth families seeking to secure their legacies, demand for family office services is rising. Wealth managers who specialize in concierge-level services for UHNWIs will see tremendous growth opportunities in this niche sector.
