Ultrawealthy look beyond the U.S. for asset diversification, Citi executive says

A Citi Wealth executive says American ultra‑wealthy clients are increasingly booking assets outside the United States for optionality and resilience, pursuing additional residencies or golden visas in places like Italy, Portugal, Jersey, Australia and New Zealand without fully expatriating. Citi’s Wealth Beyond Borders projects about $3.06 trillion shifting to hubs such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland, the UAE and the U.S. from 2025–2029, driven by lifestyle, growth and policy risk concerns; UBS and Henley & Partners also note rising global migration and residency-by-investment activity. Family offices report increased cross-border investing and a continued but not reduced U.S. exposure, underscoring a deliberate diversification trend rather than flight from America.

How to pick the right advisor for ultra‑wealthy families

Ultra-high-net-worth households (about 442,000 with $20M+ in investable assets, totaling roughly $22.5T) are a lucrative yet demanding client segment. They require advisers with expertise beyond portfolio management—covering tax, estate and trust planning, business advisory, philanthropy, and multi-generational family governance. Prospective clients should ask potential advisers about their experience with similar clients, the services offered, how they implement tax and estate planning, and their succession plan, aiming for a seamless, multi-generational partnership that can evolve over decades.

AI Recasts Private Banking for Mass Affluent Investors

Bloomberg notes that AI is enabling wealth managers to deliver private-banking‑quality service to mass‑affluent clients (under $1 million in liquid assets) while the truly rich receive more personalized, human-led care; firms will hire automation specialists and maintain human oversight as AI handles routine tasks, with Citi piloting AI tools like a college fund chatbot and CIO-style email drafting. The shift could reduce the need for traditional advisers for mass‑affluent clients, while Elon Musk suggests AI could redefine saving money in the near future.

Hong Kong tops Switzerland as the world's biggest cross-border wealth hub

Hong Kong has overtaken Switzerland to become the world’s largest cross-border wealth hub, with about $2.9 trillion of international assets in 2025—roughly 60% from mainland China. The Boston Consulting Group expects the gap to widen to nearly $600 billion by 2030 as Asian fortunes grow. The shift reflects Hong Kong’s revived equity markets, China’s manufacturing strength, and a broader move by wealthy clients to diversify assets across jurisdictions to hedge geopolitical risks. Banks are expanding booking operations in HK and Singapore, while Switzerland faces regulatory pressures and questions about defending its position; Dubai is rising as a regional bridge, though cross-border wealth there remains smaller than Hong Kong or Switzerland.

Generational Wealth Preserved: Four Habits of the Ultra-Wealthy

In an as-told-to interview, Rob Mallernee, CEO of Eton Solutions and a longtime adviser to ultra‑high‑net‑worth families, says the four habits that keep wealth lasting are: cultivate a purpose-driven family culture so wealth is stewarded rather than owed, treat tax planning as an ongoing, strategic process with tax-efficient investments, buy-and-hold core assets to reduce taxes and costs (and borrow against holdings rather than selling), and stay frugal by scrutinizing even small expenses to protect wealth across generations.

Stock Gifts Could Amplify Tax Benefits in Trump Accounts

The Trump administration is weighing allowing stock donations to "Trump Accounts" for American children, a move that could let donors avoid capital gains taxes on appreciated shares while deducting their value, potentially driving more high‑net‑worth gifts. Whether this would require new legislation or can be done via Treasury guidance is unclear, and experts are divided. While attractive to ultra‑rich donors, it may not be a game‑changer and could face Congressional hurdles; considerations include AGI deduction caps and the potential impact on estate taxes.

AI Advice in Law: Privilege at Risk as Clients Turn to Chatbots

Lawyers warn high-net-worth clients increasingly rely on AI chatbots for legal guidance, which can produce incorrect or inappropriate tax and estate-planning ideas and may waive attorney‑client privilege when documents are uploaded to AI systems. The trend wastes lawyers’ time, erodes trust, raises data privacy concerns, and underscores that AI should inform questions—not replace personalized legal advice; firms are revising contracts to address these risks.

Billions in private-capital fees fuel wealth advisers' profits

A Financial Times analysis shows wealth advisers at banks and independent brokerages earned over $2 billion in servicing and placement fees from evergreen private-capital funds across 16 products since 2017, led by Blackstone Breit and Bcred, with typical fees around 0.25-0.85% annually plus about 0.5% placement and up to 3.5% commissions; critics say adviser incentives helped grow private-capital allocations, while banks defend fiduciary duty and say fees vary by fund, though some have faced outflows recently.
