"While there is no official threshold, centimillionaires or individuals with a total net worth of over $100 million, is a good benchmark as entry into the 0.001% club," said Kevin Teng, CEO of WRISE Wealth Management Singapore, a wealth enterprise for ultra-high net worth individuals. Family offices as investment vehiclesIndividuals of such wealth generally have their money managed by single family offices, which handle everything including their inheritance, household bills, credit cards, immediate family expenses, etc., said Andrew Amoils, an analyst at global wealth intelligence firm New World Wealth. "These family offices often have foundation arms for charities and venture capital arms that invest in high growth startups," said Amoils. The number of family offices in the world has tripled since 2019, topping 4,500 worldwide last year with an estimated $6 trillion in assets under management combined. Ultra high net worth individuals also explore potentially buying stakes in professional sports teams, said Dandrew's Buscemi.

Michael Sonnenfeldt, Tiger 21 Scott Mlyn | CNBCPrivate equity is currently "king" among members of Tiger 21 — a network of ultra-high net worth entrepreneurs and investors — according to its founder and chairman, Michael Sonnenfeldt. The private equity industry had an especially tough 2022 after a decade-long bull run, but has picked up so far this year. Sonnenfeldt told CNBC on Friday that Tiger 21 members, who collectively manage around $150 billion in assets, have increased their allocation to private equity threefold over the last decade, and see further opportunities amid an expected boom for companies exposed to AI and climate. Most Tiger 21 members are entrepreneurs who have sold their companies and are now in the business of wealth preservation. According to a quarterly report from EY, private equity activity climbed 15% in the second quarter of 2023 versus the first, with total deal values hitting $114 billion on the back of a steep rise in Europe.

Share Share Article via Facebook Share Article via Twitter Share Article via LinkedIn Share Article via EmailTiger 21 founder says ultra-rich investors are now looking for new real estate opportunitiesMichael Sonnenfeldt, founder and chairman of Tiger 21, a peer network of ultra-high net worth entrepreneurs and investors, discusses how the group’s members have changed their asset allocation in recent quarters.

Despite SVB's demise knocking the value of banks globally, particularly European lender Credit Suisse, U.N. climate envoy Mark Carney said he, too, did not expect a "material" impact on climate tech funding. "At a minimum, this will likely drive continued tightening of investments and a push to have their portfolio companies cut (cash) burn," it said in a note. Mona Dajani, partner at law firm Shearman and Sterling, said most of her clean energy clients either banked with SVB or faced some other impact from its troubles. SVB "cultivated a reputation as being very friendly to clean energy... they were willing to underwrite more risk," she said. "Not all the companies are going to make it and now that’s happening to climate companies."

☆ Interest in 2nd passports among the uber-wealthy is at 'an all-time high' amid mounting political uncertainty, an investor network boss said

The chair of a network of ultra-wealthy investors said interest had reached an "all-time high." Golden passports and visas allow the rich to get citizenship or residency in exchange for investment. But as interest in golden passport and visa schemes soars, some countries are shutting down their programs. Portugal and Ireland both announced in February that they were ending their golden visa schemes. The European Commission argues that both golden passport and visa schemes "pose serious risks, in particular as regards security, money laundering, tax evasion and corruption."

☆ Six-month Treasury yield tops 5%. Here’s how you can put your idle cash to work

Rates on U.S. Treasurys have spurted even higher, and that means you don't have to look too far to safely grab some yield for your cash holdings. The yield on six-month Treasurys have surpassed 5%, and even 1-month bills tout rates of 4.5%. Further, you can put the same concept to work with short-dated Treasurys to get a little more yield on your cash and do so safely. Risk management and ladders When interest rates are rising, you can reinvest the proceeds of the maturing bonds in your ladder into a longer-dated issue. In a falling rate environment, you can count on the bonds that have already locked in the higher yields.
