The impact of affluence on the next economy. Private wealth has shaped society for centuries. But the challenges we face are escalating. We live in a world more connected and efficient than ever before, yet face a climate emergency, growing fiscal inequality and continued healthcare and economic uncertainty. How can private capital be deployed to tackle these challenges?

In our in-depth international study, World Shaping Wealth: the impact of affluence on the next economy, we explore the impact on society that ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) individuals want to have in the years ahead.

Based on the views of over 400 UHNW individuals and the advisers that support them, our study explores some of the factors motivating today's UHNW individuals in deploying their wealth and the challenges they must tackle to use their wealth for good.
