Rise In The Number Of High Net Worth Individuals
Growth in the number of high-net-worth individuals contributed to the development of the wealth management market during the historic period. With the increasing population of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), the demand for advanced financial planning and investment management services also rose. These individuals sought tailored solutions to manage their expanding wealth, such as estate planning, tax optimization and asset protection, driving a significant increase in demand for wealth management firms. For example, in 2020, according to the Guardian a British daily newspaper, as the world's wealthiest people profited from "almost an explosion of money," the ranks of "ultra-high net worth" (UHNW) people increased by 46,000 to a record 218,200. In 2021, according to Bankrate, a US-based consumer financial services, HNWIs numbered 62.5 million, up 5.2 million from the year before. HNWIs comprise only around 1.2% of the population, yet they control about half of the world's wealth (48%). Eighty-seven percent of HNWIs have assets worth between $1 million and $5 million. The rising number of high-net-worth individuals boosted the demand, which supported the growth of the wealth management market.
