Family offices are increasingly allocating capital to technology ventures, a trend highlighted by a recent survey cited by CNBC World.

The survey, which sampled a broad cross‑section of ultra‑wealthy family firms, found that a growing number of these entities are experiencing a sense of urgency—often described as FOMO—to invest in high‑growth tech sectors. Respondents reported that the rapid pace of innovation and the success stories of early‑stage tech companies are influencing their portfolio decisions, even when those companies are outside the traditional investment focus of many family offices.

CNBC World notes that the shift is not limited to venture capital funds; some family offices are now creating in‑house teams or partnering with established tech investors to gain early access to promising startups. The survey also revealed that while risk tolerance varies, many firms are willing to allocate a larger portion of their discretionary capital to tech, citing both potential upside and the desire to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving market.

As the technology landscape continues to evolve, family offices that adopt a proactive stance may position themselves to capture significant value. The trend underscores the broader influence of technology on wealth management strategies and suggests that even the most traditional investors are adapting to the new dynamics of capital allocation.
