🌍 In Africa, wealth is growing faster than our ability to support it!
A strategic challenge for banks and financial institutions.
In 2024, Africa will have 135,200 US dollar millionaires (HNWIs) – i.e. individuals with over 1 million USD in net assets.
This figure is expected to increase by +65% by 2033
(Henley & Partners – Africa Wealth Report 2024).
But this figure hides another, even more structuring for the Next Gen:
More than 2,000 billion USD will be transmitted between generations by 2045
(UBS & PwC – Global Wealth Transfer Report, extrapolation for Africa).
And yet…
Too few financial institutions and advisors are today trained to support this transition with the international standards required for structuring, governance and transmission.
Casablanca, Abidjan, Dakar, Libreville, Lagos… it’s all the same:
Fortunes are being made
Heirs are getting impatient
Demands are becoming more complex
And trust is becoming a competitive advantage
Some key figures (millionaires in USD) :
South Africa: 37,400
Nigeria: 8,200
Morocco: 6,800
Ivory Coast: 2,800 (1st UEMOA country, continental top 10)
Wealth is evolving. But structures and skills are struggling to keep pace.
What if Swiss standards were the answer?
The Swiss model rests on three foundations:
🔧 Technical competence: multi-jurisdictional structuring, taxation, inheritance, compliance
Relational posture: ethics, discretion, management of complex family relationships
Absolute confidentiality as the basis of any lasting relationship
It’s this level of requirement that wealthy African customers are looking for today.
Swiss Wealth Academy is launching a training program to meet this critical need.
At Swiss Wealth Academy, we have designed a high-level training program for African wealth management, private banking and family office professionals.
