Indian family offices to increase exposure to alternatives, study shows

Indian family offices are expected to increase their exposure to alternative assets over the next three years, with allocations potentially rising by around five percentage points, according to a report by asset management firm Sundaram Alternates. The move towards alternative assets reflects a broader global trend, and is driven by a desire for diversification, active participation in India's growth story, and investment in startups and innovative ideas. Additionally, the report suggests that family offices may increase their assets under management by 14% per year over the next three years. However, attracting and retaining talent remains a major challenge for Indian family offices.

LTCG tax parity may bring more family offices to the startupland

Family offices of millionaires in India are expected to increase their investments in startups following budget proposals that aim to bring parity to long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax and abolish the angel tax. There are currently around 300 family offices, up from 45 in 2018, according to a PwC report. The removal of angel tax and the uniform 12.5% LTCG tax on all financial assets are seen as significant attractions for investment in private companies. This change may incentivize exits by early-stage investors and encourage more domestic capital into the startup ecosystem.
