Ultra-Wealthy Families Allocate Only 34% to Stocks, Favor Alternatives
May 30, 2026, 4:02 AM EDT. Ultra-wealthy families allocate just around 34% of their portfolios to equities, according to 2026 data from family offices managing $1.4 trillion in assets. They diversify heavily into alternatives such as private companies (15.8%), private equity, hedge funds, and real estate. Private companies like SpaceX, staying private longer, attract significant investment for growth potential outside public markets, albeit with higher risk. Family offices’ sizable alternative allocations highlight a trend in ultra-rich investors seeking diversification beyond stocks. Public investors can gain similar exposure through investment vehicles like the Schiehallion Fund, a trust focusing on private company holdings. This strategy reflects a broader move among wealthy individuals to mitigate volatility and tap novel growth sources amid global market uncertainty.
