Saltus Wealth Index
The high net worth individual’s view of their position, prospects and potential
The Saltus Wealth Index measures and reports the views of a constituency vital to the health and future prosperity of the UK
These are the people who drive growth and create the intellectual property that a developed nation needs to thrive. They run the businesses that employ millions of people and pay the taxes that keep the welfare state running.
The task of the Saltus Wealth Index is to record and report the evolving view of this important group. We track how they feel about the UK and how they feel about their own prospects. However, our territory is not only financial and economic. We also cover the personal lives of our respondents, and how the lives and attitudes of its citizens are changing, as the UK goes through a period of tremendous transition.
Each year we conduct two surveys of 2,000 people. While the views of this constituency may change as the context evolves, what remains constant is a picture of serious minded, self-made people, prepared to work long hours and remain committed to the long-term success of the UK.
Each year we conduct two surveys of over 2,000 people with £250k+ investable assets.
The Saltus Wealth Index - how the confidence of high net worth individuals has changed over time
The upward curve of the Index had been brought to a shuddering halt with, confidence severely shaken by a combination of external events and actions taken by the Labour government since its election in July 2024. However, this survey sees it return to more normal levels. Labour politicians following the Index should not be complacent. The underlying data suggest that this improvement is probably a consequence of strong markets rebounding from Trump’s tariff tantrum.
