Multigenerational wealth transfer is one of the most significant factors affecting the high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth (HNW/UHNW) segment today—its impact in the coming decades is set to increase substantially. Cerulli projects that wealth transferred through 2045 will total $84.4 trillion. Of this, $72.6 trillion in assets will be transferred to heirs, while $11.9 trillion will be donated to charities.
With trillions of dollars set to be in motion on an annual basis, firms in all corners of the industry must formulate a strategic approach to provide value surrounding multigenerational shifts in wealth. Shifting wealth into next-gen’s hands will benefit firms that are able to sustainably establish advisory relationships with younger clients in the years to come. Additionally, those that can remain on the cutting edge of technology, estate planning, and wealth structuring tactics will prove to be invaluable to clients as wealth transfer becomes a more pressing concern.
