FOX research shows that a top concern for wealth owners, second only to preserving the value of assets, is helping children to become productive adults. Leadership and succession are also real concerns as baby boomers around the world prepare to retire.
A strategic approach to family education is essential for addressing all of these concerns. However, it’s not easy. Family leaders and family office executives report facing obstacles such as:
- Difficulty getting buy-in from key stakeholders

- Lack of program design expertise
- Trouble identifying the right resources
