Core Insights - The report by Hurun Research Institute reveals a decline in the number of high-net-worth families in China, with a total of 2.066 million households having net assets exceeding 10 million RMB as of the end of 2024, marking a 0.8% decrease year-on-year and the second consecutive year of decline [1] - The threshold for wealthy families is set at 6 million RMB, with this group decreasing to 5.128 million households, a 0.3% drop year-on-year [3] - The number of ultra-high-net-worth families, defined as those with assets exceeding 100 million RMB, has fallen to 130,000, a decrease of 1.7% [3] Wealth Composition and Market Impact - Approximately 70% of Chinese household assets are tied up in real estate, making wealth highly sensitive to property market fluctuations [6] - The average price of second-hand homes in 100 cities has seen a cumulative decline of over 10% in the past two years, affecting household net worth significantly [6] - A hypothetical example illustrates that a property valued at 10 million RMB with a 5 million RMB mortgage results in a net asset of only 5 million RMB, which could decrease by 1 million RMB with a further 10% drop in property value [6] External Factors Influencing Wealth - International trade tensions are identified as another significant factor contributing to wealth erosion, with nearly 60% of high-net-worth individuals having backgrounds in manufacturing or foreign trade, leading to reduced corporate profits and impacting household balance sheets [8] Comparative Analysis - In comparison to the U.S., where approximately 8% of households have net assets exceeding 1 million USD, only about 1% of Chinese households have net assets over 6 million RMB, indicating a lower proportion of wealthy families relative to the population size [9] Future Outlook - The report forecasts that if real estate policies continue to relax, the number of high-net-worth families may stabilize by 2025, but it is unlikely to return to the peak levels seen in 2022 [10] - The focus of wealth management is shifting from "incremental competition" to "stock preservation," emphasizing the importance of global asset allocation, tax planning, and family inheritance strategies [10]
