According to the study, the number of individuals with high net worth (HNWI) also increased by 5.1%. Now, 22.8 million people are among the richest in the world.

Capgemini said the growth was triggered by a recovery in the global economic outlook and that the trend offset the 2022 decline.

North America has seen the strongest HNWI recovery globally, with annual growth of 7.2% for wealth and 7.1% for population. According to the report, solid economic resilience, cooling inflationary pressures and a formidable recovery in the US stock market drove momentum.

The trend continues in Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East, but to a lesser extent. In contrast, Africa was the only region where HNWI wealth and population fell. In Capgemini’s assessment, this was due to the fall in raw material prices and the decline in foreign investment.

The report indicates that two in three HNWIs are planning to invest more in private equity during 2024, to leverage possible future growth opportunities. “As HNWI growth prospers, asset allocations begin to shift from wealth preservation to growth”said the consultancy.
