Family office vs private bank — what’s the difference?
The two structures families most often compare when organising their wealth
| Family office | Private bank | |
|---|---|---|
| Serves | One family (SFO) or a few families (MFO) | Many high-net-worth clients of the bank |
| Control | Full family control over strategy and decisions | Within the bank’s platform and product shelf |
| Scope | Investments plus succession, governance, philanthropy, lifestyle | Primarily investments and banking services |
| Typical wealth | Commonly US$30M+ (HK$240M for Hong Kong’s FIHV tax concession) | Often from US$1–2M in investable assets |
| Cost model | Own staff and infrastructure — fixed cost | Fees and product commissions to the bank |
A dedicated family office typically makes sense when:
- investable wealth passes roughly US$30M and private-bank pricing no longer fits;
- the family wants succession, governance and philanthropy coordinated in one place;
- confidentiality and control matter more than off-the-shelf convenience.
