Global wealth hits new highs but growth slows
Elliot Smither
Asia is now the region with the largest number of high net worth individuals and is expected to overtake North America in terms of total wealth in 2015
Both the number of global high net worth individuals (HNWIs) and the level of their investable wealth expanded in 2014, growing to 14.6m and $56.4tn (€50.4tn) respectively, according to the World Wealth Report 2015, released by Capgemini and RBC Wealth Management.
