Summary
Artificial intelligence has become the leading investment priority for family offices worldwide, according to a survey from JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s private bank, as reported by Bloomberg. Of the 333 single family offices surveyed across 30 countries, 65% said they want to invest in AI, placing it ahead of health-care innovation, infrastructure assets and cybersecurity as an investment theme.
Despite the strong stated interest, the survey indicates that actual allocations lag behind intentions. Most current AI exposure among these family offices is limited to large-cap publicly traded companies, reflecting a concentration in public equities rather than a broader spread across private markets or infrastructure.
Other coverage of the JPMorgan research, including the firm's 2026 Global Family Office Report, reinforces the trend. One summary of the report notes that AI is described as a generational investment theme, though only 65% of family offices are planning to prioritize AI investments. Another cites a finding that 79% of family offices have zero allocations to infrastructure such as data centers, even as billionaire families describe AI as a top priority.
The figures differ across publications. A separate summary reports that 74% of 125 polled family offices named AI a top priority, with 66% citing geopolitical risk as a concern. These differing sample sizes and reported percentages suggest that readers should consult the underlying JPMorgan report for methodology before drawing firm conclusions.
