An Introduction to Intergenerational Financial Planning

In recent years, the existence of a generational wealth gap has become all too clear. Thanks to a combination of large gains in property and stock markets over the past few decades, and generous final salary pension schemes, the baby boom generation now hold over half of all UK private wealth1.

As a result, there has never been such a wide disparity in wealth distribution between the older and younger generations.
