Why it matters
The increase in wealth was primarily driven by a 13.2% surge in equities. Furthermore, gold rose approximately 44%, a gain attributed to retail buyers and central banks concerned about currency volatility. The firm framed the year under the theme of a “great reordering” of global money.
