Family governance is not a perfect science and its application is not particularly straightforward.  Some would say that the odds are stacked against success if you consider the number of issues that could potentially derail a project. Who the family entrusts with the responsibility of the project is a critical early choice that will impact the odds of success.

On a recent trip to Australia I met an entrepreneurial couple who talked about the annual cash flush they provide to their children. When digging deeper the conversation touched on topics of ‘how much is enough’ and ‘how to keep them responsible citizens in their communities despite the money’. In our advisory work we often get involved in such discussions. Conflicts in families mainly centre about two issues: power (who leads the family company) and money (who gets how much access to cash). Let’s focus on the money for now.

Costs, CEO pay, assets, performance. All these came under the spotlight in the second annual Global Family Office Report. While the inaugural report was about debunking myths from the industry, this year's edition examines what trends have emerged from that starting point. 

Increases in costs and an optimistic performance outlook for the year ahead are some of the main findings to come out of Campden Wealth’s second Global Family Office Report, produced in conjunction with UBS. This year the annual report, which sheds light on investments, costs, and services within family offices, takes an in-depth look at three asset categories: private equity; real estate; and hedge funds. This special section includes interviews with family office executives and service providers, who have helped question a few commonly-held beliefs.

When it comes to handing over the reins to successors, the odds are stacked against family businesses. Around 70% of families fail to properly pass their business or wealth to the next generation. One of the biggest reasons is that half of families lack a succession plan: a process for identifying and nurturing people to become leaders in the business.

At a time when the world is gearing up for the largest wealth transfer in history and entrepreneurial teenagers are making millions from their basements, wealth managers and family offices are seeking ways to serve an increasingly youthful client base.

The dynamic change has brought with it a greater focus on technology. A tech-savvy generation are open to wealth management services that don’t require face-to-face interaction and prefer to manage their investments through user-friendly financial software.
