The Longevity Dividend

For affluent wealth owners, acting on the $9 trillion longevity megatrend requires a three-part playbook: systematically rebalance portfolios and wealth structures for extended lifespans; deploy capital into high-growth sectors like wellness real estate ($464bn), wellness tourism (+30% growth by 2028), and biotech; and optimize personal health span using advanced diagnostics—DNA sequencing, epigenetics, and metabolomics—combined with cellular therapies and daily lifestyle discipline. This pivots capital from material accumulation toward extended vitality, family well-being, and high-quality life experiences.

The GLP-1 effect: what happens after you stop being hungry?

The global expansion of GLP-1 therapies — such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro — is vastly misunderstood. This is not a pharmaceutical headline about weight loss or a clinical story — it is a $200 billion structural reallocation of global consumer capital. As biological hunger is systematically moderated across affluent markets, household expenditure is undergoing a permanent portfolio reset. Capital is fleeing volume-driven indulgence — processed foods, mass dining, and bulk alcohol — and compounding into a high-margin “longevity stack” centered on muscle preservation, real-time health intelligence, regenerative aesthetics, and vitality-focused luxury travel.

Gold Is Having a Very Strange Year

Gold is having one of those years when almost every explanation seems to be true at the same time. It has been one of the great trades of 2026, then suddenly looked horribly expensive, then fell sharply, while some of the biggest buyers in the world simply carried on buying it. The usual gold story — lower rates, weaker dollar, inflation fears, geopolitical anxiety — is still there, but it no longer seems big enough to explain what is actually happening.

WEALTH & OTHER VICES #1. THE FRICTION PREMIUM

Money stopped being about things a long time ago. It buys time, access, privacy, health, experiences — and increasingly, the luxury of not having to deal with things you don't want to deal with. WEALTH & OTHER VICES is about what happens next. We write about money and investing, but not just markets; luxury, but not just watches and hotels; health, but without the green-juice sermon; technology, travel, property, food, people, pleasure and the increasingly strange ways affluent people choose to spend their money and their lives. We’re interested in what sits underneath the obvious story: where capital is moving, what wealthy people are suddenly willing to pay for, which habits are changing, and which businesses will benefit when they do. Some of it will make you money. Some of it will make you think. Some of it you may simply want. Welcome to W&OV.
