Leveraging proprietary research conducted during the summer and autumn of 2013, Turkish Wealth Builders: Family Businesses Cultivate Economic Growth explores how leading Turkish business families are shifting attention toward planning for the future and implementing strategies to create cross-generational legacies.

Coupling higher rates of educational achievement with international travel experience, the next generation of Turkish wealth builders appear primed to adopt more sophisticated business and wealth management mechanisms. 

"The findings suggest a shift in how wealth is managed in the country, which creates the opportunity for global wealth managers and family office service providers to tap into the market by focusing on the next generation of Turkish wealth builders," concludes Dominic Samuelson, CEO of Campden Wealth.

While the economy is forecasted to grow by 4% over the next two years1, the next generation of Turkish Wealth Builders face a host of macroeconomic  challenges – including a current account deficit, high interest rates and a weakened lira – to make their marks in business and investing. Wealth management professionals may get a chance to prove themselves in the coming years.
