Global assets under management

Global assets under management consists of assets held by asset management firms, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, hedge funds, and private equity funds.

Assets by classification

 * Around one third of private wealth is incorporated in conventional investment management (Pension funds, Mutual funds and Insurance assets).
 * Many surveys systematically overestimate the global wealth pool. This is because they fail to separate out assets that are inaccessible for wealth management services (e.g. pension assets, real estate, dedicated liquidity, etc.)
