Frequently Asked Questions

How many family offices are in South Florida?โ–พ
South Florida is estimated to have 300โ€“500 family offices across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. Palm Beach County alone hosts 300+ hedge funds, PE firms, and financial services firms. The exact count is hard to pin down because most single-family offices are exempt from SEC registration.
Why are family offices moving to South Florida?โ–พ
The primary driver is Florida's zero state income tax โ€” a family office managing $500M can save an estimated $4.5M per year by relocating from New York. Additional factors include lifestyle, proximity to Latin American capital flows, post-COVID remote-work normalization, and a critical mass of service providers (Bessemer Trust, Wilmington Trust, Gunster) that have opened South Florida offices.
What is Wall Street South?โ–พ
Wall Street South is the media shorthand for the migration of major financial firms from New York and the Northeast to South Florida. Over 200 investment firms have relocated since 2020, including Citadel, Elliott Management, Point72, and Wells Fargo's Wealth & Investment Management HQ.
Which VC firms are based in Miami?โ–พ
Major VC firms with Miami offices include Founders Fund, SoftBank ($5B LatAm Fund + $100M Miami Innovation Fund), H.I.G. Capital ($60B+ AUM), Starwood Capital Group, 1984 Ventures, 305 Ventures, and Endeavor Miami.
How much venture capital was raised in South Florida in 2025?โ–พ
South Florida startups raised $4.13 billion across 376 deals in 2025, up 49% year-over-year. Fintech, proptech, and healthtech accounted for 65% of all Miami VC dollars. In H1 2026, the region is on pace for ~$4B, ranking 5th nationally by deal count in Q2.

Sources & Methodology

Firm data compiled from SEC ADV filings, Active Family Offices, Praxis Rock, Family Office Access, Foundersuite, Refresh Miami, eMerge Insights 2025 Florida Venture Capital Report, PitchBook, Palm Beach County Business Development Board, and individual firm websites. AUM figures are estimates from public trackers and should be treated as approximate. CRE data from Miami Realtors, TenantBase, and GoCommercial Q2 2026 reports. Family office counts are inherently uncertain because most single-family offices are SEC-exempt. Last updated August 21, 2026.
