NPW Expands into Investment Fund Management to Deliver Curated Private-Market Access for Ultra-High-Net-Worth Families

Toronto, Canada, February 12th, 2026, FinanceWire

Nour Private Wealth (NPW) announces the expansion of its multi-family office platform to include investment fund management capabilities under Nour Private Management, an affiliate of Nour Private Wealth. This strategic initiative provides ultra-high-net-worth families with additional tailored solutions and structured access to private-market opportunities, all within NPW’s integrated advisory framework.

The move aligns with a global trend of family offices shifting toward direct investment in private companies, infrastructure, and alternative assets. According to Preqin, the number of family offices with private-market allocations has grown substantially since 2016, reflecting sustained expansion across North America, Europe, and the Middle East. In North America, private markets now account for approximately 29% of the average family office allocation, underscoring their growing role in diversification and long-term capital deployment.

Direct Access and Hybrid Portfolios

Family offices are evolving beyond fund-only models to embrace direct investing strategies that offer greater control, transparency, and influence over investment structures. Common approaches include:

• Co-investments alongside established sponsors.
• Club deals to access larger or more complex transactions.
• Thematic allocations in sectors such as infrastructure, healthcare innovation, and technology.
• Minority growth investments or participation in buyouts.

Many offices maintain hybrid frameworks that combine primary private funds, secondaries or fund-of-funds, and direct or co-investments. This balance allows families to pursue conviction-driven opportunities while managing liquidity and diversification.

Institutionalization and NPW’s Strategic Response

As family offices institutionalize, multi-family offices are enhancing services to include investment structuring, consolidated reporting, governance coordination, and integrated, tax-aware portfolio construction. Advanced technology platforms now support sophisticated risk management and performance oversight.

NPW’s fund management expansion represents a strategic evolution of its advisory model. Families benefit from coordinated portfolio construction, consolidated reporting, and structured access to private-market strategies—all supported by external legal, tax, and estate professionals.
