Family businesses: Sustaining performance

Source: Credit Suisse

"Family businesses" have been a key focus of research at Credit Suisse. This dates back to 2007, when we launched the CS Family Business Index of listed family companies exhibiting best in class financial characteristics. Our analysis not only focuses on a substantial proportion of the corporate sector and in turn the source of wealth creation, it also identifies an economic sector that delivers consistent excess stock market returns. We have conducted a survey of international member businesses of the Family Business Network International. The results highlight a number of key themes:

  • Family businesses have to date coped relatively well in the current hostile environment
  • Their model has paid off consistently over time for both family members and outside investors
  • Where succession is concerned, families are sticking together
  • Sustainability and philanthropy are key issues for family businesses
