【A New Power Player in Hedge Funds: Private Wealth Steps In】| Jadewell Family Office

As Jadewell Family Office marks its first year, we’ve noticed a clear shift in client conversations.
What used to be mainly about portfolio consolidation and risk analysis has increasingly become one topic: Hedge Funds!
And the trend is industry‑wide.
Senior bankers tell me the same thing:
"Clients made strong gains in equities — especially AI — but the uncertainty behind those gains is pushing them to seek professional, risk‑managed strategies 🤓."
Even bankers admit they want to reduce their own “career risk” by relying on funds that can go long, short, and monitor markets 24/7 😎.

▋ The Numbers Behind the Shift
According to Goldman Sachs:
📈 Global private wealth has grown 6%+ annually over the past decade.
📈 Now reaching USD 240 trillion — 5× the size of traditional institutional allocators combined for hedge funds.
🌐 High Net Worth individuals control USD 90 trillion in investable assets globally
🌐 Half of them in US, and the remainder split evenly between EMEA and APAC
Yet most wealth management platforms recommend 8–10% hedge fund allocation, while actual allocations sit around ~1%.
🚩 Even a small move toward the recommended range would drive significant inflows.

▋ My Perspective on Asian Wealth Clients
Older generations are less active in stock‑picking now, especially with US‑centric AI names and time‑zone challenges.
Investment decisions are shifting to younger family members who:
✅ Prefer not to be tied to screens
✅ Want to reduce personal responsibility risk
✅ Are more open to allocating to strong‑performing hedge funds

▋ But Selection Isn't Easy
With thousands of strategies, complex fee structures, and constant fund pitches, choosing and monitoring hedge funds is a full‑time job.
That’s exactly where a family office like us adds value.
Leave the heavy lifting to #JadewellFamilyOffice.
If you’re reassessing your hedge fund allocation or overall portfolio resilience, we’re here to help.
