Where it stands

The movement of assets from older generations to younger heirs is underway, though USA Today reports the transfer will be smaller than previously thought. The Washington Post notes that a significant portion of Boomer wealth will primarily go to individuals who are already wealthy.

Coverage from Fortune and Money Management emphasizes shifts in the demographics of wealth and its application. UBS indicates that the transfer will result in a wealthy population that is younger, female, and openly queer, while next-gen inheritors are reportedly planning $100bn in donations.

Future developments center on the distribution of these assets and the actualization of planned charitable contributions by next-generation inheritors.
