The ultra-rich private investment company retreated their trading in March as President Donald Trump’s tariffs were on the verge of massive scale. Last month, the detached house office made a direct investment of 45% year-on-year, according to data provided exclusively to CNBC by Fintrx, a private wealth intelligence platform. Investments also fell 22% from month to month, with accounting for February being three days less than in March. There were a few exceptions. Euclidean Capital, the family office of late hedge fund Mogul Jim Simons, announced its first investment since December. In March, Euclidean Capital participated in a $60 million funding for Zeitview, a startup that uses drone imaging and artificial intelligence to inspect infrastructure such as wind turbines and solar panels. As part of the consortium, Dubai Holdings has completed the acquisition of Nord Anglia Education in a transaction valued private school operators at $14.5 billion. The investment conglomerate, owned by Dubai’s control families, has been joined by institutional investors, including the Canada Pension Plan Investment Committee. Here are five notable deals this month by the family office with at least $5 billion in assets: Trump on Wednesday imposed a wide range of tariff policies, including a baseline 10% mandate in almost every country. According to Vicki Odette, a partner at Haynes Boone, in the weeks before the announcement, many families stopped to assess how portfolio companies are affected by tariffs. Odette, who works with family offices and investment funds, said her clients are considering whether the investment will distribute or whether they can successfully withdraw. She added that the family office could also move at a slower pace due to the lack of counterbidders during this lull. At the same time, Odette said many families are reluctant to deploy much of their capital, fearing that the trade war would affect the operating businesses that are responsible for their wealth. “There’s stress on both sides,” she told CNBC. This uncertainty is also felt overseas, according to Odette, who works with Middle Eastern families who frequently invest in the US and Europe. “They look at America and say, ‘OK, how does this affect everything that’s going on in the world?” ” she said. However, the family’s office is not sitting in his hand. She finds herself interested in short-term loan private credit funds. “All these families are very opportunistic,” Odette said.
