Much of the task of prevention will be to create a SCIENCE OF HUMAN STRENGTHS, whose mission with be to foster these virtues in young people.”

The Rising Generation: Challenges and Opportunities in Wealth Management
The future of wealth management will be significantly shaped by the Rising Generation. A prevalent concern is that many individuals within this group are not adequately prepared for the responsibilities of inheritance, succession, or personal growth. In numerous cases, the wealth being transferred, may not be in secure or stable hands, questions about long-term stewardship continue to drive our thinking and innovation..
Gen Z: Unique Challenges and Considerations
The challenges intensify when focusing on Gen Z. According to renowned social psychologist and author Jonathan Haidt, the effect of social media on Gen Z represents "the greatest destruction of human capital in human history," leading to what he describes as "The Anxious Generation." This characterization highlights the complexities Gen Z faces as they prepare to manage substantial inherited wealth.​
​
Understanding the Rising Generation
The Rising Generation encompasses Millennials and Gen Z, spanning the ages of 18 to 40. While these generations are often grouped together, it is important to recognize their distinct perspectives on life and wealth. Their worldviews differ markedly, as do their approaches to managing and valuing wealth.
​
The Impact of Inherited Wealth
One significant, often unspoken fear is the potential impact of wealth on those who were not involved in its creation. Many inheritors tend to be more risk-averse and may receive their inheritance lacking essential life experiences, a clear understanding of work, or a sense of meaning and purpose in their own lives. The responsibility of controlling and spending wealth that they did not directly produce introduces a range of psychological, social, and practical challenges.
