When a jewel becomes more than a jewelJewellery and Alternative Assets |
|
|
|
The world’s most valuable jewellery is rarely valuable because of the gemstones alone. Royal ownership, celebrity provenance and historic significance can transform exceptional jewels into cultural icons worth many times their intrinsic value. Away from this rarefied market, however, advisers to wealthy families tell Citywealth that jewellery remains first and foremost a passion purchase. While craftsmanship, rarity and natural gemstones matter, most collections are built for enjoyment and legacy rather than investment return. Read more → |

Citywealth Leaders List, 60 seconds interview:Piers Hillier, Jupiter Asset Management |
|
|
| The geopolitical landscape is always changing and today is no different. Let’s remind ourselves that every first quarter since 2020 has been marked by significant market volatility – Covid-19 in 2020, the resultant inflation shock in 2021, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the sensitivity of Silicon Valley Bank and other US regional banks to interest rates in 2023, Federal Reserve interest rate cuts not delivered in 2024, Trump’s tariffs in 2025 and the Iran conflict this year.

Citywealth Quick Insight Series on Sports Trends:Chris Harber, Boyes Turner |
|
|
| The shift is real and largely complete. Three things drove it. First, scarcity with pricing power: there are only twenty Premier League places, thirty NBA franchises, and that fixed supply against rising global media demand produces the kind of appreciation institutional capital is built to capture. Second, the data has caught up. Read more → |

Citywealth Quick Insight Series on Divorce and Family Law Trends:Clare Radcliffe, Mishcon de Reya |
|
|
| People are often aware that there is a starting point of “equal sharing” in financial remedy cases. However, that is only part of the picture. “Matrimonial” assets – those acquired during the marriage other than through inheritance or a significant gift from a third party – tend to be divided equally.
