You likely aim to track the performance of every asset in your portfolio, from equities to real estate to private investments. But there's one asset generating measurable returns that likely doesn't appear anywhere in your wealth statements: your data itself. It's a performing asset that generates returns.

Intergenerational wealth transfer has always been among the hardest challenges in wealth management. Getting it right starts with visibility; you can't educate heirs about wealth you can't clearly show them.

In 2025, an estimated 142,000 millionaires will relocate internationally, according to Henley & Partners' latest private wealth migration report. The UK alone faces a net outflow of 16,500 wealthy individuals — the largest exodus any country has experienced since tracking began. Dubai, Switzerland, and Singapore welcome thousands more each year. The Great Wealth Migration, as some call it, is well underway. The result is greater physical mobility without greater asset consolidation. Technology to consolidate the data around diverse assets can bridge the gap.
