Key Themes for 2025

The beginning of 2025 has been marked by persistent market uncertainty, fueled by rapid AI-driven technological progress, geopolitical instability, and heightened investor awareness of financial risks. Despite these challenges, global GDP growth is expected to remain steady, with forecasts suggesting stronger performance than in the previous two years.

In real estate, investment activity—following a sharp drop from its 2021 peak—has begun to stabilize. Data from the latter half of 2024 indicates a recovery trend, reinforcing the increasing role of private capital in the sector. Notably, 44% of family offices plan to expand their real estate portfolios, reflecting sustained confidence in the market’s long-term potential.

While risks remain, The Wealth Report 2025 identifies significant investment prospects across high-end residential real estate, emerging commercial property sectors, and valuable collectible assets. For investors willing to embrace uncertainty, the outlook remains positive, with numerous opportunities for growth across diverse asset classes.
