Methodology
A family office is counted in the city of its headquarters. Single-family offices serve one family; multi-family offices serve several and include wealth-management firms that describe themselves as family offices. Satellite offices are not counted separately, so cities that host many branch offices (for example Singapore or Dubai) may look smaller here than in surveys that count branches.
Figures are recomputed from the live database every day.
