Wealth Education: Equipping the Next Generation for Success
Handing over wealth isn’t just about transferring assets, it is also about passing down knowledge. For affluent families, wealth education ensures your children and grandchildren don’t just inherit money, they gain the skills to manage it. Without preparation, studies show up to 70% of family wealth can vanish by the second generation. How will your legacy endure?
What is Family Governance and Wealth Education?
It’s a system to help your wealth thrive across generations. Beyond control, it’s about empowering the next generation to become capable stewards of your legacy, through education, clear guidelines, and strategic planning.
Here’s how to prepare your heirs:
Financial Education: Start early with lessons on budgeting, investing, and tax basics. Invite them to workshops or advisor meetings to build confidence and skills.
Structured Frameworks: Create a family constitution, a set of rules defining roles (e.g., trustees) and responsibilities to guide wealth management.
Long-Term Planning: Plan wealth transfers early to minimise inheritance tax and ensure a smooth transition.
Why is Governance Important?
The benefits are clear:
Prepared Heirs: Equip beneficiaries to grow your wealth, not squander it.
Family Unity: Shared guidelines reduce disputes and align priorities.
Lasting Legacy: Ensure your wealth endures beyond a single generation.
