The Great Wealth Transfer Is Here – How to Truly Connect with NextGen Clients

An Unprecedented Shift in Wealth Is Underway

In the coming years, trillions in assets will be passed from the Baby Boomer generation to their successors across Europe and beyond. But this is about more than money. It’s about responsibility, values, and expectations shifting from one generation to the next.

What looks like a financial event is, at its core, deeply personal and emotional.

The NextGen Heirs Think Differently

Where previous generations focused on growing wealth, today’s heirs are asking how they want to use it.

They are asking:
• What purpose should this wealth serve?
• How can I stay independent—without drifting aimlessly?
• Do I trust my advisor—or just their products?

These are not product-driven questions. They are human questions. And they require a new kind of advisory conversation—one that’s more personal, more values-based, and more psychologically insightful.

What This Means for Advisors

In legacy and succession planning, technical expertise is no longer enough. What’s needed is a better understanding of:

  • Behavior: What drives decision-making? What triggers avoidance or action?
  • Trust: How do you build meaningful relationships with a generation that expects personalization?
  • Future orientation: NextGen clients care about aligning their financial plans with their values, lifestyle, and social impact.

Many advisors in our network are already using BQ Advisory to deepen their conversations—especially in succession and family wealth settings.
