With the 2024 Summer Olympics on the horizon, the equestrian world is naturally preoccupied with prospects of gold and glory at the Palace of Versailles in Paris.

Welcome to the Wealth Report 2024, the 18th edition of this market leading report.
Last year's report described the impact of rising rates on wealth portfolios with the total wealth held by Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals (UHNWIs) falling by 10%.
This year, we confirm the rise in the numbers of UHNWIs globally, led by growth in the US and the Middle East, and continued demand from these investors for real estate, with around a fifth looking to purchase residential property this year and the same proportion looking at commercial opportunities.
This vote of confidence for real estate comes at a fortuitous time. And opportunities for well-financed investors are enormous.
