Core Development: Only 2.3% of wealthy family businesses are ready for succession. What’s holding them back?

📊

Market & Financial Impact: Julius Baer–EY’s Family Barometer Report 2026 shows that 65.9% of families believe the next generation is not yet ready, while emotional attachment, informal decision-making and weak family governance continue to complicate the transition. For India’s business families, the hardest part may not be transferring ownership—but preparing the family to decide what comes next.

💡

Actionable Insight: 🔴 Bearish Risk: Regulatory scrutiny, profit decline, or sell-off risk may create near-term volatility.

Both in India and globally, emotional attachment to the business ranks as a key source of misalignment, ahead of governance or valuation disagreements.
