The Great Wealth Transfer: $84 Trillion at Stake - Are You Ready?

Over the next 20 years, Baby Boomers will pass down $84.4 trillion, marking the largest wealth shift in history. This is more than just a transfer of money - it’s a power shift that will redefine investing, philanthropy, and financial strategy for decades to come.

Family offices, the gatekeepers of generational wealth, are at the heart of this transition. But will they evolve fast enough to meet the radically different mindset of Millennials and Gen Z?

If you want to understand where money - and power - is moving next, read on.

 Family Offices: The Hidden Giants of Wealth Management

Family offices, once discreet financial stewards, now manage more than $6 trillion in private wealth. These organizations are rapidly evolving from simple wealth managers to structured entities offering:

·      Private equity and venture capital investing

·      Legacy and estate planning

·      ESG and impact-driven philanthropy

·      Direct investment in disruptive industries

Ron Diamond, a leading expert in family office investments, believes this shift is bigger than most realize. The question is: Will these institutions adapt, or will they fade as younger generations take control?
