About The Episode

In Episode 26 of the Dakota Insights Podcast, we explore how family offices are evolving into fully institutional capital platforms—and why this shift is reshaping private markets.

Drawing from Dakota’s 2025 Global Family Office Report, we examine how improved liquidity in 2025 accelerated professionalization, earlier diversification, and formalized governance. Family offices are no longer passive pools of capital; they are building structured investment teams, expanding direct deal activity, and leading transactions across sectors.

We also discuss the strategic importance of geography, the growing role of private markets in portfolio construction, and why talent is becoming the key constraint as offices scale.

The message is clear: family capital is becoming more structured, selective, and central to global private markets.
