Even affluent millennials get help from Mom and Dad

Baby boomers and their millennial children are redefining contemporary family dynamics — particularly where finances intersect with parent-child relationships. But what does that mean for advisers?

According to the latest edition of UBS' Investor Watch survey, as many as 74% of affluent and high-net-worth millennials are receiving some form of financial assistance from their parents. That's a stark contrast from the 35% of boomers reporting that they too got parental help at a young age.

The survey breaks down the types of support millennials are receiving from their parents, from health insurance to home ownership to living at home. Other surprising findings include that while affluent millennials aren't happy with their portfolios, a large percentage haven't reached out to their parents' advisers for help.
