Asia’s rich fear losing the family fortune — but many still have no succession plans, survey shows
Asia's wealthy families prioritize preserving their fortunes across generations, but many lack basic succession plans, according to a Lombard Odier survey. The survey found that only 26.9% of respondents had a full succession plan in place, while 39.4% had no succession planning at all. This lack of planning exposes an intention-implementation gap among Asia's wealthy families, leaving them underprepared for intergenerational wealth transfer.
