"High net worth individuals" (HNWI) in financial services and private wealth management industries signifies persons, whose investible assets (stocks, bonds etc.) exceed a specific given amount. In the case of the underlying report, the threshold minimum defined for these figures was at least one million U.S. dollars in financial assets.
The UK’s wealthy
The number of high net worth individuals (HNWI's) in the United Kingdom (UK) and in Europe from 2009 to 2018 has seen overall growth. Although the total number of HNWI's in Europe remained stable, the UK saw a fall of almost 20 thousand individuals between 2017 and 2018. Despite this, the UK has the fourth highest population of individuals that are in the top one percent globally. The vast majority of HNWI’s reside in the Asia Pacific, North America and Europe regions.
Europe’s Wealthiest
In 2018, Germany had more high net worth individuals than France and the UK combined. When it came to billionaires in European countries, the gap was not so large. HNWI’s wealth in terms of assets is held mostly in equities, cash and cash equivalents, fixed income and real estate.
