By 2030, Gen X and millennials are expected to inherit more than $23 trillion from prior generations. By 2045, a whopping $68 trillion will have been passed down. As the wealth moves, so, too, will financial advisors and their customers. CNBC reported that roughly 40% of advisors plan to retire within the next ten years, while upwards of 80% of heirs will consider changing representatives.
What does this mean for you? For starters, if you haven’t already put a succession plan into place, now is the time. Without a plan, advisors risk losing the opportunity to enjoy the rewards of their decades of effort. Of all business owners in the U.S., more than 75% plan to fund the majority of their retirement through the sale of their businesses. Yet it’s estimated that only about 2% know their businesses’ values.
