DBS Report: 43% of Asian Families Exclude Next Generation from Wealth Planning

According to the DBS Asian Family Office Almanac 2026, released based on surveys conducted in January and May 2026, 43% of Asian family offices have not involved the next generation in wealth planning, while 79% hope to transfer wealth to at least two generations. Only 1% of the next generation family members lead planning and execution.

The report surveyed over 200 family offices across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. It found that founders' desire to retain control is a major barrier to wealth transfer, cited by one-third of respondents as a primary reason for delaying the process. Additionally, over 85% of respondents lack formal business continuity plans, relying instead on informal contingency arrangements.
