A note to the reader
This issue draws from listed companies, households, experiments and other adjacent settings. It is not a collection of 100 studies directly sampling family offices. Use the evidence to sharpen questions; check each paper’s population, methods and limitations before applying it. Each source has its own passage agent. Original findings remain distinct from the editorial practice articles elsewhere in the journal.
