UBSโs Global Family Office Report 2026 shows that headline allocations look familiar, but risk is now being taken very differently inside portfolios.
For the first time in the reportโs history, 60% of family offices globally plan to change their strategic asset allocation in the next 12 months - the highest reading UBS has recorded.

ย ย โข ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ: Down from 14% to a planned 8% - a sustained, deliberate cut to what once anchored most alternatives sleeves.
ย ย โข ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐พ๐๐ถ๐๐: Peaked at 22% in 2023, pulled back to about 17%, and is expected to hold near that level through 2026 as liquidity and valuations are treated more cautiously.
ย ย โข ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ & ๐ถ๐ป๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฎ: Private debt has risen from 2% to 3%, while infrastructure is building towards 2% from almost zero preโ2023, driven by power and energy demand from the AI buildโout.

: The headline 56:44 traditionalโtoโalternatives split is intact, but the alternatives sleeve has shifted from โproperty PEโ to a broader mix of PE, private debt, infra and gold.

Taken together, these trends show how little the headline mix has changed, and how much the underlying exposures have - most of the action is now happening inside the sleeves rather than in the topโline split.
