Capgemini – 2016 World Wealth Report
“Source: Capgemini – June 2016′
– Asia-Pacific surpassed North America for the first time to become the region with the largest amount of High Net Worth Individual (HNWI) wealth. Buoyed by Asia-Pacific, the global HNWI population and wealth grew by 4.9% and 4.0% respectively during 2015. Faltering growth in the Americas constrained global HNWI wealth expansion;
– Ultra-HNWI wealth, long a driver of overall HNWI wealth, did not provide its usual boost in 2015;
– Japan and China emerged as engines of global growth with double-digit increases in both HNWI population and ultra-HNWI wealth growth; and
– By 2025, global HNWI wealth is projected to triple its 2006 level to reach over US$100 trillion due mainly to the growth in wealth in the Asia-Pacific region.
