Global wealth and capital trends in 2025
Overview
Reports on global wealth in 2025 indicate significant growth across different sectors and geographies. According to the McKinsey Global Institute, global household net worth rose by a record $40 trillion in 2025, reaching a total of $570 trillion. This growth was largely driven by rising equity prices, particularly in the United States, where AI-linked mega-cap stocks contributed heavily to market-cap growth. In contrast, China’s expansion was characterized by debt, with corporate debt reaching 80% of real assets.
Complementing this, the Boston Consulting Group reported that global financial wealth grew by 10.7% in 2025 to reach $333 trillion. This period saw a shift in capital geography as Hong Kong overtook Switzerland as the world’s leading center for cross-border wealth, fueled by capital inflows from mainland China. Additionally, the influence of institutional investors grew, with assets under management by sovereign wealth funds and public pension funds reaching $43 trillion.
