Report Highlights

The number of high net worths in the UK fell slightly between 2000 and 2001. The

lower asset bands were hardest hit by this fall, while ultra high net worths

were least affected. In fact, an additional 1,000 people were added to the ranks

of the super-rich in 2001.

Wealth managers held 62% of millionaires’ liquid assets in 2001.The largest

players were Barclays, HSBC Republic and Merrill Lynch Investment Managers. The

implication of this dominance of wealth managers in the GBP1m+ market is that

competitors seeking to acquire new clients will have to take them away from

other wealth managers; there is very little money not already being managed.

Wealth managers held 26% of the high net worth market in 2001. It is likely that

in general a lower proportion of individuals with between GBP200k-1m use wealth

managers to manage their portfolios for two reasons. First, a proportion of

these investors may be completely or partly self-directed. Second, a large

proportion of all retail savings and investments in the UK are held in deposits.

Coutts, Lloyds TSB Private Banking and HSBC Investment Managers in this

category.
