Altrata’s World Ultra Wealth Report 2026 Reveals a $26 Trillion Investable Asset Opportunity as the Global Ultra Wealthy Population Hits an All-Time High

Published

on

The global UHNW population grew by 14.4% in 2025 to 556,850 individuals, with combined net worth surpassing $63.8 trillion, more than double the annual GDP of the United States

NEW YORK, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today Altrata, a leader in intelligence on the wealthy and well-connected, releases the World Ultra Wealth Report 2026, the 14th edition of its flagship annual analysis of the global ultra high net worth (UHNW) population, those with a net worth in excess of $30 million.

The report finds that the global UHNW population has reached a new all-time high of 556,850 individuals, growing by 14.4% in 2025, the strongest annual expansion since 2017. Over the past two years alone, the number of ultra wealthy individuals has grown by almost 30%, adding more than 120,000 new individuals. Their combined net worth now stands at $63.8 trillion, more than double the annual GDP of the United States. The ultra wealthy class holds an estimated $26 trillion of that in investable assets, equivalent to approximately 10% of the global investable asset stock.

For wealth managers, private bankers, and financial advisors, the opportunity has never been larger, and neither have the expectations of the clients they’re advising.

Key findings for wealth managers from the World Ultra Wealth Report 2026 

A rapidly expanding market opportunity. The global UHNW population is forecast to reach 746,570 individuals with combined wealth of $85 trillion by 2030, representing a substantial and growing pipeline of prospective clients for wealth management firms globally.North America registers the largest absolute increase. North America will add around 77,000 ultra wealthy individuals by 2030, raising the total to more than 300,000, retaining its position as the world’s dominant wealth market and the largest concentration of prospective clients.Entrepreneurial wealth dominates today, inherited wealth grows tomorrow. Four fifths of North America’s ultra wealthy class are entirely self-made, the highest share of any major region. With purely inherited wealth currently accounting for just 6% of the global ultra wealthy class, this share is set to rise as intergenerational transfers accelerate, particularly in China and Southeast Asia.The share of UHNW women is set to grow. Female UHNW representation stands at 12% globally but is forecast to reach 19% by 2040, a shift that forward-looking firms should already be preparing for.Asia leads regional growth. Asia recorded UHNW population growth of 15.8% in 2025 and is forecast to register the strongest growth of the three major regions to 2030, with India, China and Southeast Asian economies such as the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia among the primary engines of expansion.

The largest and fastest-growing opportunity in wealth management

The scale of the UHNW opportunity is difficult to overstate. At $26 trillion in investable assets, this population accounts for 10% of the global investable asset stock, concentrated among just 556,850 individuals. And that pool has been growing recently at its fastest pace in nearly a decade.

But the profile of individuals within this demographic is changing. The dominant profile across all regions is that of the entrepreneurial wealth builder, individuals who have built companies, led organizations, and often accumulated wealth across multiple jurisdictions. They expect their financial advisors to understand that complexity and to meet them with intelligence that reflects it.

The geographic distribution of this opportunity is also shifting. While North America remains the dominant wealth market, Asia is gaining share, and emerging hubs across Southeast Asia, the Nordics, and Africa are producing a new generation of ultra wealthy individuals that represent a new relationship opportunity. For wealth managers with a global outlook, the report provides a clear picture of where the next generation of clients is being created and where the opportunity is too significant to ignore.

Looking ahead, intergenerational wealth transfer is set to reshape the client base further. As an aging UHNW population begins transferring assets at an accelerating pace, wealth managers face the dual challenge of retaining existing relationships while building new ones with a younger, differently motivated cohort of inheritors and emerging wealth creators. With female representation expected to rise to 19% by 2040, investment priorities and financial planning needs will shift in ways that will define the next generation of client relationships. What will remain constant is the expectation that advisors understand the full picture of who their clients are. Philanthropy already rivals sport as a top interest among the global ultra wealthy, nearly matching it among North America’s UHNW class. Knowing what drives a client beyond their portfolio is no longer a nice-to-have. It is a prerequisite for earning the relationship in the first place.

“The global ultra wealthy landscape is evolving at a pace that demands a fundamentally different approach to client acquisition and relationship management. Data and relationships are now inseparable,” says Eden Willis, Global Head of Financial Services at Altrata. “The firms that will pull ahead are not those casting the widest net. They are those with the deepest intelligence on who these individuals are, what they care about, and how to meet them with the right advice at exactly the right moment.”

An essential resource for wealth managers

Altrata’s World Ultra Wealth Report 2026 and the data that underpins its findings continue to be a critical read for wealth managers, private bankers, and financial advisors seeking to engage and prospect the ultra wealthy across the globe. As this population grows in size, complexity, and global reach, the organizations best positioned to advise and engage with them will be those that understand them most deeply.

“The insights in this report are the foundation of every meaningful client conversation a wealth manager should be having right now,” says Eden Willis.

This containerized, multi-cloud architecture gives VNPT a scalable, efficient assurance foundation that can grow with its network and adapt as new services are introduced.

“VNPT is one of the most respected and technically advanced operators in Asia, and they set a high bar in this selection,” said Benny Eppstein, Chief Executive Officer at RADCOM. “Displacing an incumbent through a competitive RFP at an operator of VNPT’s standing is a strong signal for RADCOM in Asia-Pacific, and we see clear room to extend assurance across more of their network over time. We look forward to supporting VNPT as it continues to grow and evolve its network.”

The selection marks a strategically important reference win for RADCOM in the Asia-Pacific region and establishes a foundation to extend assurance beyond roaming across VNPT’s wider network. With this modern assurance foundation in place, VNPT is positioned to broaden real-time, AI-driven assurance as its network and services continue to scale. As previously announced on August 12, 2026, this contract was one of three contracts RADCOM secured following the close of the second quarter of 2026.

Z Squared Acquires Energized Arkansas Campus to Advance AI Infrastructure Strategy

Published

on

By

Union County Campus has existing electric service of up to approximately 8.0 MW and a phased development target of an estimated 150+ MW

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Z Squared Inc. (Nasdaq: ZSQR) (“Z Squared” or the “Company”) today announced the closing of its acquisition of Paradox Data, LLC from Paradox Infrastructure LLC, bringing the energized Union County Campus in El Dorado, Arkansas (the “Union County Campus”), into its computing infrastructure portfolio. The acquisition gives Z Squared its first owned, energized campus and a site from which to advance its planned AI colocation business.

The campus has electric service already flowing under an existing interruptible service arrangement with Entergy Arkansas, LLC for up to approximately 8.0 MW. That existing grid connection provides a starting point for phased conversion into high-density space for customers that bring and operate their own computing equipment.

Paradox Data, LLC also holds contractual rights to acquire adjacent land and a development pathway targeting 150+ MW of AI-ready capacity over time through a combination of utility power and on-site generation. Expansion will depend on additional power arrangements, customer commitments, financing, permitting and construction. Capacity above the existing service arrangement is a development target and is not currently contracted, energized or delivered.

“In August we told our shareholders to judge us on four things: whether the Paradox acquisition closes, whether we sign our first paying tenant and megawatt commitments, whether energized capacity at Union County grows beyond the current 8 megawatts, and whether we add sites without taking on debt,” said David Halabu, Chief Executive Officer of Z Squared. “We have met our first goal. We closed, we paid in stock, and we took on no debt to do it. Union County gives us power already flowing, land under contract for expansion, and a path to pursue 150+ megawatts of AI-ready capacity. The work now is the first phase: the engineering, the power planning and the first customer commitment. We will report against those same four measures as we go. Our intention is for Union County to be the first owned campus rather than the only one, subject to the same discipline we have applied here.”

Advancing the First Phase

With the acquisition complete, Z Squared’s near-term priorities at Union County include first-phase high-density electrical and cooling design, utility and on-site generation planning, advancing the adjacent land acquisition, and securing the first binding customer request for service.

As previously announced, the Company has engaged A2 Advisors, a strategic advisory and executive management firm focused on digital infrastructure, to support site-development planning, project delivery, vendor and partner alignment, and leasing and capital strategy at the campus.

Union County is intended to contribute to Z Squared’s previously announced Phase 1 objective of developing 100 MW of AI-ready capacity across multiple U.S. sites. The Company’s approach is to acquire energized, grid-connected properties and deploy conversion capital site by site against customer commitments and operational readiness.

The acquisition was completed entirely in stock, with no cash paid at closing and no debt financing incurred for the transaction.

Additional information regarding the transaction, including the material terms of the purchase agreement, is contained in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed or to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

About Z Squared Inc.

Z Squared Inc. is a computing infrastructure company operating advanced computing equipment and expanding into AI infrastructure. The Company’s strategy is built on three principles: lead with power by acquiring operating sites where power is already flowing; build for AI workloads by converting that capacity into AI-ready colocation where the customer brings the compute and runs what they need; and scale with discipline by deploying conversion capital site by site, against signed contracts and operational readiness. Z Squared’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “ZSQR” in April 2026.
