Family offices (single or multi) make sense at $50M+ in investable assets. Below that, private banking (JP Morgan Private Bank, Goldman Sachs PWM, UBS) offers similar services with lower minimums ($5-25M). Family offices provide consolidated reporting, direct deal access, and custom investment mandates unavailable at private banks. Multi-family offices (Bessemer Trust, Glenmede) offer a middle ground at $10M+ with family-office-level service at lower cost.

Most wealth advisors recommend 3-5% of liquid net worth in cash/cash equivalents for UHNW individuals — enough to cover 12-24 months of lifestyle expenses plus opportunistic investments. Excess cash above this benchmark costs 5-8% annually in opportunity cost vs. diversified portfolios. Treasury bills, money market funds, and short-duration bonds provide liquidity with yield while maintaining capital preservation objectives.
