| Typical member | Members are family principals and family office executives from multi-generational business-owning families. Campden describes its constituency as business-owning families with annual revenues above GBP 100 million, though it does not publish this as a hard qualification test. | Members are families that own or oversee an operating enterprise or a dedicated family office, together with the executives who run those offices. FOX does not publish an asset floor, and its own materials describe the community in terms of role rather than wealth band. |
