Private investment companies of ultra-rich remunerated their transaction in March while President Donald Trump’s prices were extended. Last month, unifamilial offices made 40 direct investments, a 45% dive from one year to the next, according to data provided exclusively at CNBC by FINTRX, a private wealth intelligence platform. Investments also dropped by 22% per month, representing February with three days less in March. There have been some exceptions. The Euclidean capital, the Family Office of the Jim Simons hedge fund magnate, announced its first investment since December. In March, the Euclidean capital participated in a collection of funds of $ 60 million for ZeitView, a startup that uses drone imagery and artificial intelligence to inspect infrastructure such as wind turbines and solar panels. Dubai Holding, as part of a consortium, has completed its acquisition of Nord Anglia Education in a transaction enhanced the private school operator at $ 14.5 billion. The investment conglomerate, which belongs to the Dubai leader family, was joined by institutional investors, including Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. Here are five remarkable transactions this month by family offices with at least $ 5 billion in assets: Trump imposed a large-scale pricing policy on Wednesday which includes a reference right of 10% in almost all countries, with rates reaching 46% in the case of Vietnam. During the weeks preceding the announcement, many families stopped to assess how their portfolio companies can be affected by prices, according to Vicki Odette, partner at Haynes Boone. Odette, who works with family offices and investment funds, said her customers are considering whether their investments will be able to make distributions or out successfully. Family offices can also move at a slower pace because they faced less counterators during this lull, she added. At the same time, many families hesitate to deploy so much capital, concerned about the fact that the trade war will have an impact on operational companies responsible for their wealth, said Odette. “There is stress on both sides,” she told CNBC. This uncertainty is also felt abroad, according to Odette, who works with families in the Middle East who frequently make investments in the United States and Europe. “They look at America and say,” Ok, how will it have an impact on everything that is going on in the world? “” She said. However, family offices are not seated on their hands. She noticed an increase in the interest of private short -term loan funds. “All these families are very opportunistic,” said Odette.
