Every year at the beginning of January, Groupe Ficade brings together the leading players in private wealth management in the heart of Paris for the Grand Forum du Patrimoine. This benchmark event offers professionals a prestigious setting to exchange ideas, discover new industry trends, and highlight initiatives contributing to the development of wealth management in France.
The 9th edition, held on Monday, January 19, 2026, at the InterContinental Paris–Le Grand, brought together nearly 500 participants: wealth management advisors, family offices, private bankers, asset managers, insurers, experts, and solution providers.
The morning was dedicated to jury sessions. In total, 150 selected organizations presented their projects and achievements before various panels of experts. These exchanges allowed for the evaluation of the quality of the approaches taken, the relevance of the proposed solutions, and the candidates’ ability to meet new wealth management challenges.
Following the deliberations, the Grand Forum du Patrimoine opened with a cocktail reception, followed by a business lunch bringing together professionals from the ecosystem. The awards ceremony then honored the most remarkable organizations in the presence of the candidates and jury members.
The Grand Forum du Patrimoine also highlights the regional dynamics shaping wealth management in France. The best wealth management advisors and family offices are recognized across ten major regions: Atlantique, Centre, Grand Est, Grand Ouest, Île-de-France, Méditerranée, Nord, Occitanie, Paris, and Rhône-Alpes.
This regional approach highlights professionals committed to working closely with their clients, while also underscoring the diversity and vitality of the wealth management ecosystem throughout the country.
