internationally.

### Types of asset management: new rich vs traditional rich

The report indicated that family offices currently manage assets from the nouveau
riche, with 41% of family offices managing first-generation wealth. Only 30% of 
family offices manage assets from second-generation wealth, and only 19%, traditionally
