By FY22, the proportion for real estate will increase to 51.57 per cent, against 43 per cent in FY17, growing at a CAGR of 15 per cent, the report said.

The report also covers the concept and need for having a ‘family office’ among the ultra-high net worth individuals. Family offices bring together teams of legal, financial, investment and administrative experts, to provide a wide bouquet of services to the ultra-high net worth individuals, it says. These services cover two broad areas – managing the corpus and wealth of families and setting up structures and processes, for smooth transfer of wealth through generations.
“Be it philanthropic investments or strategic equity investments, property management or personal tax advice, succession planning or M&A, children’s education or personal counselling, family offices are much more than just wealth management and investment advisory firms,” the report said.
