Institutional Investor’s Thrasher to cover family offices

Michael Thrasher

Institutional Investor senior reporter Michael Thrasher is switching beats and will now cover family offices.

“I don’t feel like a tourist in the family office universe, but I also acknowledge that I have much to learn,” he wrote on LinkedIn.

He previously worked at Pensions & Investments and was editor in chief of Institutional Investor’s RIAIntel before rejoining Institutional Investor in 2023.

Thrasher initially joined Institutional Investor five years ago as a reporter. He previously was a reporter for WealthManagement.com.

Thrasher has covered brokerages, RIAs and everything that impacts them. He has written about mergers and acquisitions, regulatory changes, technology and industry trends.
