Wealth-X Announces Strategic Expansion to Global Dataset

NEW YORK, Aug. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Wealth-X, the leader in applied wealth intelligence, announced today a major expansion of the company's proprietary global database. The company has identified nearly 270,000 wealthy Chinese individuals, growing its total dataset of wealthy individuals by more than 22% and expanding its coverage in China by nearly eighteen times.

This new dataset includes records on both very high net worth (VHNW) individuals, those with a net worth of between $5 and $30 million, and ultra high net worth (UHNW) individuals, those with a net worth of at least $30 million.

"The wealthy population continues to grow rapidly across Asia, with China leading the way," said Wealth-X CEO Richard Green. "These new assets fortify us with the most expansive dataset on the wealthy in China and will be pivotal for our clients to better identify, understand and engage with individuals in that market."

The Wealth-X World Ultra Wealth Report 2018 revealed that China has had one of the fastest growing ultra high net worth populations in the world, expanding annually by an average of 13.4% since 2012. Wealth-X anticipates that this growth trend will continue through the next 5 years and beyond; the company's High Net Worth Handbook 2019 estimates the high net worth (HNW) Chinese population will expand annually by nearly 10% to the year 2023.

"Our Data Strategy team has been diligent in incorporating this new intelligence into our database in a way that provides our clients with a clear understanding of an individual's estimated wealth based on known asset holdings," said Jordan Snyder, Vice President of Data Strategy at Wealth-X. "While acquiring this significant data was a great win, what's equally crucial is that we have cleansed and organized it in a way that makes it accessible and actionable."

This most recent data expansion comes on the heels of a series of significant additions to the company's proprietary database, including nearly 1.5 million global political and philanthropic donations, over 10,000 private aviation assets, and close to 500,000 additional personal network connections within Wealth-X dossiers. Wealth-X will continue to build upon its dataset through the rest of 2019 and beyond, with its next major expansion focus anticipated to be on wealthy individuals across Europe.
