New York City is home to one of the largest concentrations of private wealth in the world, and NYC-based family offices manage hundreds of billions in assets across private equity, private credit, real assets, and venture.
It is also one of the most competitive and crowded allocator markets out there. Family offices here are notoriously private, deal flow runs through tight relationship networks, and there is no central registry. Most fund managers either chase the same handful of names through warm intros or struggle to break in at all, missing the broader landscape.
That is the gap Dakota Marketplace fills.
Below are the top 10 family offices in New York City by AUM. The full list of verified NYC family offices, with CIO bios, investment preferences, and direct contacts, lives in Dakota Marketplace.

10. Elysium Management
AUM: $9B
Elysium Management is a New York City–based family office and direct investor managing $9 billion in assets for high-net-worth individuals, families, and institutional investors. The firm pairs capital preservation with growth-oriented strategies through a diversified mix of traditional and alternative investments — including private equity, hedge funds, and real estate — backed by rigorous research and a disciplined, personalized investment process.
The family office channel has grown roughly 5x in a decade, and the universe keeps expanding as PE professionals, founders, and business owners who sold to sponsors form their own offices. The opportunity has never been bigger. The challenge is that most family office databases count offices, including the ones that are self-directed, dormant, or only managing the family's personal assets. A list of 24,000 names is worthless if most of them do not allocate to outside managers.
Dakota Marketplace is built differently.
Every record is evaluated by a fundraiser using the same standard they would apply to their own prospect list: does this office actually write checks to outside investment managers? If the answer is no, it is not in the database.
That gives you:
- 4,000+ verified family offices actively allocating to outside managers
- 8,000+ decision-maker contacts, averaging two CIOs or investment directors per office, each with bios and stated investment preferences
- Daily updates from a 60-person research team across 91 countries, with 2,000+ new offices added in 2025
- CRM integration with Salesforce, HubSpot, DealCloud, Dynamo, Altvia, and more
