Family offices are making a bullish bet on the stock market, according to CNBC Family Office Portfolio Tracker

Family offices shifted their investment strategies in the second quarter to increase holdings in public stocks. This bullish turn comes as private deals lose appeal and exposure to real estate and private markets is reduced. The shift is driven by markdowns in private credit and a general decline in alternative investment attractiveness. Data from the CNBC Family Office Portfolio Tracker confirms this trend toward public equity over private assets.

  1. Family Offices Increase Public Stock Holdings as Private Markets Decline

    Family offices shifted their investment strategies in the second quarter to increase holdings in public stocks. This bullish turn comes as private deals lose appeal and exposure to real estate and private markets is reduced. The shift is driven by markdowns in private credit and a general decline in alternative investment attractiveness. Data from the CNBC Family Office Portfolio Tracker confirms this trend toward public equity over private assets.

    Why it matters

    Family offices manage the wealth of ultra-high-net-worth individuals and typically balance liquid public assets with illiquid private equity. A move away from private credit and real estate suggests a change in risk appetite or a reaction to valuation drops in non-public assets.

    What is confirmed

    • Family offices are increasing their holdings in the public stock market.
    • The CNBC Family Office Portfolio Tracker shows family offices are making a bullish bet on stocks.

    Still unconfirmed

    • The shift to public stocks is a result of private credit markdowns.
    • Family offices cut real estate exposure in the second quarter.

    What to watch next

    • Quarterly reports on private credit valuation adjustments
    • Updated portfolio allocation data for Q3 2026
