The Great Wealth Transfer: Are Next-Gen Leaders Ready?
A groundbreaking insights series from Deloitte highlights how family offices face unique challenges and opportunities, with preparing the next generation to manage and grow the family's wealth being among the most pressing. At Inflection Point Intelligence (IPI), our Henley Family Office Program is designed to address this crucial need.
The Importance of Next-Gen Education in Family Offices
The future success of a family office heavily depends on the readiness of the next generation. Deloitte's research underscores that 30% of family office respondents lack confidence in the next generation's preparedness for succession, and 28% believe the next generation is unqualified to take over. Consequently, 31% of respondents prioritize mentoring and training as the core focus for 2024.
- Wealth Transfer Expectations: Over the next 20 years, an estimated $84 trillion will be transferred from baby boomers to their heirs globally. This massive wealth transfer necessitates robust education and training for successors (Merrill Lynch) (Bank of America Institute).
- Engagement and Involvement: According to the survey, 46% of respondents believe that the next generation will sit on the boards of family offices.
