Up to 500 family offices in Portugal by 2030; around 10,000 family offices globally; assets under management in Europe rising from €0.8 billion to approximately €1 billion; and the global total could reach €4.7 billion – these are some of the findings of the Havos Investment Pulse, the latest barometer from Havos Real Estate.
An analysis by the Portuguese property consultancy specialising in capital markets, corporate leasing and asset management (Private Wealth), with a strong track record in structuring investments, reveals that the Portuguese property market is undergoing a structural transformation driven by the growth of private capital and a shift in investor profiles. According to the Havos Investment Pulse, the latest barometer from Havos Real Estate, the number of family office structures in Portugal is expected to double by the end of the decade, rising from around 250 currently to approximately 500 by 2030.
The evolution of the domestic market is in line with a global trend of growth in this type of wealth management vehicle. According to Havos’ analysis, the number of family offices worldwide could reach around 10,000 by 2030, consolidating the role of these investors in the real economy and, in particular, in the property sector.
In Europe, assets under management within these structures are expected to grow from approximately €0.8 trillion in 2024 to €1.4 trillion in 2030. Globally, the total could reach €4.7 trillion, reflecting a structural shift in the way capital is organised, managed and invested.
In Portugal, this trend is reflected in the growing influence of private investors and wealth management firms, bringing the domestic market into line with practices already well established in more mature European countries.
“The professionalisation of family wealth management, through structures such as family offices, is one of the market’s key trends.”
The document also highlights that the growth of private capital is expected to contribute to greater stability and a long-term perspective in property investment, as well as to higher standards in asset selection and the professionalisation of processes.
Havos warns that this transformation will have a direct impact on the adoption of more disciplined, selective and long-term investment strategies.

“The sign is that Portugal is undergoing a transformation."
“The sign is that Portugal is undergoing a transformation. The national property market is showing a consistent upward trend, characterised by increasingly sophisticated investors and greater exposure of private investment – particularly from HNWIs and family offices – to real assets,” says Sandro Mota Oliveira, Chief Operating Officer at Havos.
