Henley & Partners’ unique tool for global citizens, investors, wealth managers, and private bankers, with exclusive millionaire migration and wealth data. Access comprehensive, current wealth migration data, updated annually by New World Wealth. Explore insights in the Henley Private Wealth Migration Report. Read the methodology and the press release.
The data in the Henley Private Wealth Migration Report and Henley Private Wealth Migration Dashboard is supplied by wealth intelligence firm, New World Wealth, which is currently the only known independent research firm systematically tracking global wealth migration trends between countries and cities.
It is important to note that the high-net-worth-individual migration figures in this report and dashboard focus only on people who have truly moved, namely, those who stay in their new country more than half of the year. Many wealthy individuals acquire residence rights for countries but never relocate to those countries. Such individuals are excluded from our figures, which are therefore on the conservative side.
Most migrating high-net-worth individuals do so via work visas, ancestry visas, and family visas or owing to having additional passports by birthright. New World Wealth estimates that currently around 25% opt for investment migration programs to secure residence rights or additional citizenships.
New World Wealth tracks the movements of over 150,000 high-net-worth individuals in its in-house database, with a special focus on those with over USD 30 million in listed company holdings. The database’s primary focus is on company founders (50%+ of the database) and individuals from high-value companies who hold the following positions: chairperson, CEO, president, director, and managing partner.
The firm uses various public sources to check city locations, including LinkedIn and other business portals. Its stats are therefore mainly based on the work locations of the individuals.
Note: It should be noted that New World Wealth never gives out the names of the individuals in its database, which it uses purely for in-house statistical studies.
New World Wealth also uses the following sources as sanity checks on its data:
We consider wealth to be a far better measure of the financial health of an economy than GDP. The reasons for this include:
Wealth figures, on the other hand, have none of these limitations, making them a far more accurate gauge of the financial health of an economy than its GDP figures.
