The Age Of The Great Handover Has Arrived

 

  • This is the most gilded age since the Gilded Age, with 5 percent of American households controlling 63 percent of the country’s wealth. Decades of stagnant income growth for the middle class contrasts with family dynasties such as the Waltons of Wal-Mart, wealthier than the poorest 40 percent of households combined. Some $59 trillion—the largest intergenerational transfer of wealth in U.S. history—will flow down from estates through 2061, according to Boston College’s Center on Wealth and Philanthropy

 

  • “By far the biggest handover ever to the next generation is about to happen,” PWC and UBS noted in a 2016 report on billionaires. “Without careful planning, many of today’s fortunes will suffer substantial erosion.”

 

  • UBS: Europe Leads In Protecting Wealth: Europe stands out as the home of multigenerational billionaires. While it may not be the best at creating great wealth, Europe has proved the best at keeping it. The region’s billionaire wealth remained broadly the same (with a small fall of 3%), at USD 1.3trn. Europe has the greatest number of multigenerational billionaires, and ranks a close second to the US for total multigenerational billionaire wealth

 

  • UBS: Asia’s One Billionaire Every Three Days: Led by China, Asia is creating one billionaire every three days. One hundred and thirteen Asian entrepreneurs attained billionaire status during the year, accounting for more than half (54%) of 2015’s global total. Young business- people are making money fast in technology, consumer & retail and real estate. The region’s billionaire wealth stood at USD 1.5trn, a slight fall on the previous year due largely to currency depreciation

 

  • UBS: Most of the world’s billionaires have made their money in the last 20 years, and now they are aging. In this time, billionaire wealth has grown by approximately seven times. So by far the biggest handover ever to the next generation is about to happen. We estimate that 460 of the billionaires in the markets we cover will pass USD 2.1trn, the same as India’s entire GDP in 2015, to the next generation over the coming 20 years

 

  • UBS: Billionaires Are Averaging 70 Years Old: Even billionaires grow old. One-third of billionaires in our data- base are more than 70 years old, while they hold 40% of the group’s total wealth. It is therefore reasonable to assume that they are in what we call the corridor of wealth transfer

 

  • UBS: The Great Critical Handover Has Begun: We expect this critical handover to have signicant implications. As great wealth trickles down the generations, its goals will change. We are already seeing the early stages of what we expect to be an upsurge in philanthropy. It is also likely that many heirs will be prepared for ownership rather than management – especially in emerging markets where entrepreneurs have often built complex conglomerates. One emerging markets billionaire told us that market dynamics and regulatory and political changes mean there is no guarantee his business will exist in 15 years’ time. Accordingly, he has no plans to burden his children with a duty to continue their father’s business, given its uncertain future

 

  • Blue Phoenix Financials: We Aim To “Break” The “Great Wealth Only Lasts For Three Generations” Curse: UBS: Billionaire wealth lasts less time than thought. While it is commonly held that the rst-generation wealthy make it and the third-generation break it, our research shows billionaire status to be short-lived. Self-made billionaires almost never have grandchildren who are also billionaires

 

What Do Interest Rate Increases In The US Mean For The World?

 

  • Interest rate increases by the U.S. Federal Reserve will cause the U.S. Dollar to climb further against Developed as well as Asian currencies, thus causing an erosion in the value of assets that are priced in these currencies
