Summary

  • More than 80% of Indian family offices using an advisory model outperformed their benchmarks over the past three years, ahead of 78% under discretionary mandates and about 72% under distribution-led setups, 360 ONE and Crisil Intelligence said.
  • Disciplined asset allocation, regular portfolio rebalancing and long-term guidance drove that edge, the companion report found, rather than stock picking or market timing.
  • The 2026 Wealth Creators List identified 3,040 individuals with combined wealth of Rs. 104 lakh crore, using a minimum threshold of Rs. 425 crore.
  • Mumbai led with 802 wealth creators holding 38.4% of total wealth, while first-generation entrepreneurs numbered 1,696 versus 1,290 legacy wealth creators.
  • At the top, Ambani heirs Anant, Isha and Akash each held more than Rs. 2.75 lakh crore, while the Top 100 Families controlled Rs. 76.5 lakh crore and the top 10 alone held 49% of that.
