Liquid assets held by the HNW investors in Europe recorded a mid-single-digit YoY growth in 2022

Liquid assets held by the HNW category in Europe grew continuously between 2017 and 2022.

A key focus for most wealth providers, HNW entrepreneurs constitute the second-largest target segment (after professionals), followed by females and expats, who represent an almost equally large target market. Inheritors are the smallest segment; however, providers reaching out to female inheritors should not encounter any trouble growing their business given that this segment is often overlooked.

While there is overlap between segments, distinct investment and servicing preferences call for a differentiated servicing strategy. For example, female HNW investors are more risk averse than other segments, but they tend to be comparatively loyal to their wealth manager. On the flipside, inheritors tend to be the least loyal, meaning early and ongoing engagement is critical.

After professionals, entrepreneurs constitute the largest HNW segment

HNW entrepreneurs make for a sizable target market, and dedicated programs aimed at this segment are a must across the globe. The entrepreneurial spirit runs particularly high among Polish, Japanese, and Filipino HNW individuals – the only three nationalities tracked by GlobalData where entrepreneurs constitute more than half of the local HNW population. However, once again we see significant regional differences with regards to the makeup of the entrepreneur communities across different countries.

Investors in developing markets have a higher propensity to rely on a smaller number of wealth managers

Emerging markets are not only an attractive target market thanks to rapidly rising wealth levels, but HNW investors also show a lower propensity to spread their wealth across multiple wealth managers. According to our 2020 Global Wealth Managers Survey, only a low-double-digit percentage of investors in Europe (which is home to some of the most developed wealth markets) work with just one or two wealth managers; this proportion falls significantly in less developed markets. This is bad news for wealth managers in well-established markets. Greater risk and strategy diversification across portfolios creates more competition among providers, which are continuously competing for the biggest slice of the pie.
