Written by the Economist Intelligence Unit on behalf of Barclays Wealth, this fifth volume of Barclays Wealth Insights, entitled Barclays Wealth Insights: ‘Evolving Fortunes’, looks at how levels and distribution of household wealth will change over the next decade.

It is based on two main strands of research. First, the Economist Intelligence Unit compiled a Household Wealth Index that includes 50 countries, to examine how the number of households with wealth over certain thresholds will change over the next ten years. Data was also compiled on the proportion of households within each country with wealth over certain thresholds, average wealth held, and the ratio of household wealth to gross domestic product (GDP). Three main measures of household wealth were used: financial, non-financial and aggregate.

Second, the Economist Intelligence Unit conducted a series of interviews with wealth experts from around the world.
