ADGM Academy hosted a webinar with Salman Mahdi, Global Vice Chairman of the Private Bank at Deutsche Bank, to explore why succession planning has become one of the most important challenges facing families, family offices and trusted advisors. Delivered in partnership with the CFA Institute, the webinar considered how families can prepare for intergenerational wealth transfer while navigating increasingly complex legal, regulatory, investment and governance considerations.
The discussion highlighted that succession planning is not simply a matter of legal documentation or ownership transfer. It is an ongoing process of communication, education, governance and shared purpose. The article explores practical themes including the importance of starting early, preparing heirs before responsibility passes to them, mapping the full complexity of family wealth, reviewing structures regularly, and using governance frameworks to support alignment across generations.
The article also considers the growing role of technology, artificial intelligence, digital assets and private markets in shaping the future of family wealth. It offers practical insights for families seeking to preserve not only capital, but also cohesion, values, capability and long-term relevance.
