People Risk
The reports showed succession planning for long-standing executives and the ability to attract new talent is an ongoing concern for family offices.
While there are plenty of people from major financial institutions seeking a future elsewhere, often these candidates look to protect their own reputation and personal assets when they take on directorial and official roles.
