What are the new characteristics of the high-net-worth individual investment landscape in 2025? Based on the latest data from the Financial Investment Trends White Paper, we can observe some interesting changes.

In terms of population size, the number of households with disposable income exceeding $1 million has reached 1.8 million. This figure clearly illustrates how quickly wealth is accumulating in China.

Regionally, Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong remain the main concentrations of high-net-worth individuals. However, in terms of demographic composition, entrepreneurs and business owners account for the highest proportion, followed by the white-collar class, then active retail investors and property flippers. This ranking reflects the risk tolerance and investment experience of different groups.

Regarding risk preferences, this group generally favors conservative investment strategies (R2 level), with an average annualized return expectation of around 14%. This indicates that while they pursue growth, they place greater emphasis on capital safety and liquidity.

The expenditure distribution best reflects their investment approach: Financial investments > Children's education > Insurance. In other words, these individuals seek asset appreciation opportunities while also making ample preparations for the next generation and long-term security. This diversified asset allocation approach is worth considering for investors who want to stay ahead of market trends.

1.8 million households with million-dollar families, this speed is really incredible... Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou are still the most popular.

1. 1.8 million households surpassing one million dollars? The growth rate is really incredible, it feels like there are more hidden millionaires around me. --- 2. R2's stable strategy still aims for a 14% annualized return? Bro, are you dreaming or do you really have a way? --- 3. Basically, the wealthy are all in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, while third- and fourth-tier cities are starting to get cut out. --- 4. Financial investment > children's education > insurance. This order is quite realistic. You have to secure yourself first to protect your family, right? --- 5. Entrepreneurs and bosses indeed have strong risk tolerance, but they have to be true entrepreneurs, not self-media "entrepreneurs." --- 6. 1.8 million households... I calculated, and it still seems like a minority. The wealth concentration is a bit outrageous. --- 7. Retail investors are ranked second to last, with speculators in last place? Haha, this hierarchy of disdain is quite obvious. --- 8. To achieve a 14% annualized return with a stable investment? This logic feels a bit convoluted to me.

1.8 million households surpassing $1 million? Damn, wealth is really accelerating its flow. --- Still aiming for 14% annualized return with a conservative approach? You're dreaming, friends. --- Entrepreneurs > White-collar workers > Retail investors. This order says it all; those who understand investing always make money. --- Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou are still the same; money is flowing into big cities. It's hard to turn things around elsewhere. --- Financial investment > Education > Insurance. Honestly, you still need to be good at managing your own finances. --- A 14% expectation? I think many people are even struggling to preserve their capital. --- Real estate speculators are at the bottom haha, times really have changed.

1.8 million households with millionaires? Wake up, everyone. This number is so inflated it could be drank for a year. 14% annual return and still considered stable? I always feel like these "high net worth" individuals are also gambling. Financial investment > Education > Insurance. Basically, everyone just wants to make money work for them, who doesn't? Are the wealthy in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou all covered? So are the rich here just air? R2 stable investment... sounds like self-comfort after being used to getting cut.
