The February edition of The Alternative Investor is out.
Along with RQC Group's usual regulatory updates, this issue also explores developments in the UHNW and family office space, with insights including:
- PwC's Christine Cairns argues that with global wealth now above $500 trillion, private wealth, not institutions alone, has become a real growth engine for private markets, driving new fund structures, governance models and a structural rebalancing of capital.
- Marex's Mark Ralph explores how increasingly sophisticated family offices are adopting prime brokers alongside private banks to achieve institutional-grade trading, financing and operational efficiency without ceding control.
- Carey Olsen's Arindam Madhuryya examines how UHNWs are blending private wealth and fund structures in Jersey, using limited partnerships, unit trusts and Jersey Private Funds to access alternatives with greater flexibility, confidentiality and lighter regulation.
