Powered by ![]()
All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
Italy Wealth Management Report Overview
The overwhelming majority of Italy’s HNW population are male, in line with the regional average. Women form a significantly smaller share of the population. However, GlobalData expects the proportion of female HNW individuals to grow as more women enter high-ranking positions and engage in entrepreneurial endeavors. Furthermore, to encourage female involvement in entrepreneurship, various initiatives have been implemented to assist them in launching ventures. For example, in October 2023, LifeGate Way (an innovation hub for sustainable startups) collaborated with investment and consulting firm, Ventive, to introduce Women in Action. It was an accelerator program for female entrepreneurs, startups, and students who wish to innovate in the fields of environmental, social, and individual sustainability.
The Italy wealth management report analyzes the investment preferences, service requirements, and portfolio allocations of Italian HNW investors. The report, based on GlobalData’s annual Global Wealth Managers Survey, profiles HNWs in terms of their demographics, analyzes their propensity to invest offshore, and explores product and service demand.

Italy Wealth Management Market - Investment Preferences
The key investment preferences in the Italy wealth management market are advisory asset management, automated investment services, discretionary asset management, and execution-only asset management. Advisory asset management accounted for the highest share in the Italy Wealth Management Market. Automated investment services have a comfortable lead in terms of ‘very strong’ demand. This can be attributed to the younger generations’ desire to manage some proportion of their wealth independently. As a result, relationship management and a focus on loyalty must be the central theme of the client-advisor relationship. This will help in discouraging HNW individuals from managing their investments on their own and drive take-up of managed mandates.

The drivers of expatriation are better lifestyle conditions, better opportunities for expats’ children, tax efficiencies, job transfer, and retirement, among others. Wealth managers in Italy targeting ex-pats should ensure their service offering is customized to accommodate the varied motivations for expatriation and the more intricate service needs of their community. To appeal to expat clients, wealth managers should offer non-financial support services such as education consulting to find out about local schools and universities, as well as relocation assistance to find appropriate accommodation.
