$124 Trillion is expected to transfer across generations over the next 25 years, The increasing wealth moving into the hands of this next generation means they are likely to shape tomorrow’s philanthropy landscape. From conversations and advisory sessions with high net worth and ultrahigh net worth clients, UBS Philanthropic Services identified four key trends for 2025 and beyond.
The U.S. Federal Reserve has signaled a more gradual pace of policy easing for 2025, while other central banks like the European Central Bank and the Bank of England have continued cutting rates. UBS’ Chief Investment Office believes putting excess cash to work and seeking durable income remain key.
Blended finance can bring scale to financing social and environmental development. By combining philanthropic or public funding with private capital, it bridges the gap between ambition and action to enable transformative development outcomes.
