Report Highlights
American wealth managers lead the upper high net worth market in 2005, as
Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management, Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs lead
in terms of AuM, while Barclays Private Bank and UBS, major players in the
upper high net worth field in previous years, have both become lower high net
worth competitors.
Identifying and acquiring the right staff is a major concern for many UK
wealth managers, partly as a result of business expansion in emerging markets,
threatening the cost base and leading managers to initiate staff training
programs to create qualified staff from scratch, while non-traditional avenues
are also being explored.
Between 2005 and 2010, the total value of liquid assets held by high net worth
