BofA survey: 37% of incoming U.S. family office principals said they were very prepared

A quarter of 355 U.S. family offices surveyed had a leadership transition in the last decade.

A quarter of the 355 U.S. family offices in BofA's survey have had a leadership transition in the last decade.

Only 37% of incoming principals said they were very prepared when the transition occurred.

The survey covers U.S. family offices, not the broader high-net-worth population, so the 37% is not a general wealth-transfer statistic.
