Edition changes: Licensed text reading edition. Source headings, paragraphs and references are preserved; whitespace, typography and layout are normalized. Figures and separately licensed third-party images are not reproduced. Consult the linked original for tables, figures, equations, supplementary material and definitive pagination. This is a republication of existing scholarship, not a new original research claim.
Evidence limits: A systematic review of 75 studies through mid-2024 spans different financing channels, settings and definitions. Its synthesis is not a single causal estimate or a return forecast for a family-office allocation.
