Wealth Bulletin (www.wealth-bulletin.com) has just alerted me to an article in the Financial Times (www.ft.com). The FT cites Scorpio Partnership reporting that wealthy people in the UK are not doing too badly during the financial crisis, with two-thirds increasing or maintaining their wealth. Researchers at Scorpio interviewed 600 senior executives, business owners, professionals and private clients from the UK and a further 800 other wealthy people around the world. Their average wealth was £1.2 million.

So let’s keep on researching.
