Pacific Investments (Beckwith Family Office)

Pacific Investments (Beckwith Family Office)

Pacific Investments traces its origins to 1993 when Sir John Beckwith established the firm following the sale of London & Edinburgh Trust. The office continues under family direction with Henry Beckwith and Piers Beckwith serving as directors alongside co-founder Mark Johnson. The firm allocates across real estate, private equity, asset management and financial services. It has developed more than six million square meters of real estate globally. Confirmed holdings include Here Self Storage in Loughborough, Gatti House on the Strand, Lennox Gardens in Knightsbridge and France. Geographic focus remains Europe. Pacific Asset Management operates as an adjacent vehicle and launched its first Emerging Market Equities Active ETF in January 2025. The office lists five named principals and maintains a headcount that is not publicly quantified. Additional vehicles include the Sir John Beckwith Charitable Trust and the Youth Sport Trust. In June 2025 Harrison Street entered the European self-storage market through a £150 million UK joint venture with Pacific. Sir John Beckwith maintains memberships at Harrow School and the CFA Institute while Henry Beckwith serves on the Urban Land Institute council. Pacific Investments operates as a single-family office with direct control over real-asset acquisitions and operating businesses rather than a fund-of-funds structure. This architecture allows the Beckwith family to retain ownership of development platforms and asset-management entities that have historically seeded larger institutional vehicles.
