UHNW stands for Ultra High Net Worth, a term used to describe individuals whose investable assets typically exceed $30 million. It is a widely recognised classification within private banking, wealth management and family office services.

Ultra-high-net-worth individuals represent a relatively small segment of the global wealthy population. Their financial interests often extend across investments, businesses, property and international holdings, creating personal and professional requirements that can be considerably more complex than those of the wider affluent market.

What Does UHNW Mean?

The term UHNW is used by financial institutions, wealth advisers and researchers to distinguish individuals with substantial financial resources. Although definitions vary between organisations, the commonly accepted threshold is $30 million in investable assets, generally excluding a primary residence and certain personal possessions.

UHNW is different from HNW, or High Net Worth, which commonly refers to individuals with at least $1 million in investable assets.

UHNW Individuals and Families

Beyond wealth itself, UHNW individuals and families may have interests spanning several countries, residences, businesses and generations.

Managing these responsibilities can involve family offices, private banking relationships, professional advisers, personal staff and specialist service providers working together to support both financial and personal affairs.

Lifestyle Management for UHNW Clients

Alongside financial management, many ultra-high-net-worth individuals require dedicated support for private travel, international residences, exclusive experiences, personal arrangements and family requirements.

UHNW provides private lifestyle management for individuals, families and family offices through a dedicated relationship supported by an established international network.

Our membership service brings together personal assistance, private access and specialist arrangements, allowing clients to manage their lifestyle requirements through one trusted point of contact.
