Asia is entering its most critical chapter of wealth. By 2029, private wealth in the region is projected to reach $99 trillion — anchored by Singapore and Hong Kong as leading financial hubs.
But the challenge is no longer just about creating wealth — it's about transferring it across generations.
BCG, together with UOB Private Bank and NUS Business School, explore how families and family businesses in Asia are navigating:
- Generational divides, with NextGen leaders prioritising legacy and impact beyond wealth.
- Succession as the defining test — balancing family leadership aspirations with professionalisation.
- The complexities of inheritance, where early planning and governance are critical to preserving unity and control.
The findings highlight five key reflection points for families and family offices, from preparing for emerging assets to empowering successors with real authority. Ultimately, continuity is built on more than structures — it requires education, governance, shared values, and purpose. The true measure of success is not only preserving wealth, but preserving unity across generations.
