How Family Offices Are Buying Mineral Rights

In this episode of Family Office Conversations with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore the growing family office interest in mineral rights as a long-term, inflation-hedged asset class. They walk through a real-world example of a Texas family office that acquired a package of oil and gas mineral rights in the Permian Basin for $18 million in 2023, generating 8 percent annual cash yield while maintaining low correlation with public equities. They discuss how mineral rights differ from royalty trusts, the specific tax advantages of owning the underlying asset—namely depletion allowances and cost segregation—and the risks of environmental liability and fluctuating commodity prices. They also touch on how family offices are using LLC structures to pool capital across multiple properties and how the rise of electric vehicles is shifting the calculus on long-term value. This episode is ideal for wealth managers, trustees, and family principals considering hard-asset diversification. #MineralRights #FamilyOffice #WealthManagement #OilAndGas #PermianBasin #AssetClass #InflationHedge #PassiveIncome #TaxEfficiency #DepletionAllowance #CostSegregation #HardAssets #Diversification #PrivateCapital #EnergyInvesting #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
