2 Family-Run ASX Shares You MUST HAVE On Your Watchlist

Family-run ASX businesses have a number of advantages compared to typical non-family-run businesses, here's why.

Family-run ASX businesses have a number of advantages compared to typical non-family-run businesses.

The family management usually plan to be around for a long time, if not forever. That means they can make very long term decisions and stick around to see it through.

Family-run business management is also likely to be very shareholder aligned. This means, if regular shareholders suffer then management will suffer too. It also means that the management remuneration is less likely to cause them to take large risks like huge acquisitions.

2 Family-Run ASX Businesses

Washington H. Soul Pattinson And Co. Ltd (ASX: SOL)

This could be one of the longest-operating family-run businesses in the world.

According to WHSP, more than 40 employees have worked for the company for over 50 years. Five generations of the Pattinson family have served the company, as have three generations of the Dixson, Spence, Rowe and Letters families.

WHSP is an investment house with investments in a diverse portfolio of assets across a range of industries including natural resources, building materials, telecommunications, retail, agriculture, property equity, investments and corporate advisory.

Some of those companies include TPG Telecom Ltd (ASX: TPM), New Hope Corporation Limited (ASX: NHC), Brickworks Limited (ASX: BKW), Australian Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd (ASX: API), Bki Investment Co Ltd (ASX: BKI) and Milton Corporation Limited (ASX: MLT).

The diversified nature of WHSP’s holdings have allowed it create decent returns through all points of the economic cycle.

Reece Ltd (ASX: REH)

Reece is Australia and New Zealand’s largest bathroom and plumbing business, it also supplies irrigation, civil works and HVAC products. It has over 600 locations and recently expanded into the USA via an acquisition called MORSCO.

With Reece onto the third generation of the Wilson family playing its part in growing the company, investors have long-considered Reece a well-run business that is focused on long term decisions and returns.

The US expansion opens up a large new growth avenue for Reece, particularly because MORSCO operates in the fast-growing sun-belt region of the US where population growth and construction should drive profit higher there.
