Report Overview

This report covers the demographic breakdown of household wealth in America. U.S retail investors control $68.3T in investable assets. This is at an all time high but there is an unprecedented concentration of wealth in higher asset households. Learn who controls the wealth by life stage and asset level through the Portrait Grid™. This research is the foundation of all market sizing at Hearts & Wallets.

Key Findings

  • U.S retail investors control $68.3T, an all-time high.
  • The Portrait Grid™, which shows households and investable assets by age and asset groups, illuminates today’s unprecedented concentration of wealth
  • Investable assets in ages 55-74 and Post-Retirees show high growth, but this is due to the high concentration of households with $5M+ within these demographics.
  • Overlaying IQ™ Database fields onto Portrait™ market sizing quantifies innovation opportunities to facilitate strategic decision-making.
