At a glance

20-second brief
  • A quarter of the 355 U.S. family offices in BofA's survey have had a leadership transition in the last decade.

  • Only 37% of incoming principals said they were very prepared when the transition occurred.

  • The survey covers U.S. family offices, not the broader high-net-worth population, so the 37% is not a general wealth-transfer statistic.
