Phoenix Marketing International to Launch Ultra High Net Worth Study

 

Research Will Give Clients Insights on Top 1% of U.S. Investors

 

Rhinebeck, NY – September 12, 2007 – The Affluent Market Practice of Phoenix Marketing International today announced plans for the Phoenix AMS Private Wealth Study, which will research the complex financial management issues of U.S. households with $5 million or more in investable assets.

 

Scheduled for launch in January 2008, the Phoenix AMS Private Wealth Study will focus on topics of concern to the country’s richest people, such as wealth transfer and estate planning, risk management, alternative investments, business succession planning, and philanthropy. The study will gain access to the opinions and preferences of these hard-to-reach investors through the Phoenix Ultra High Net Worth (UHNW) Research Platform, a unique network of nearly 200 non-profit and charitable organizations. These organizations have agreed to invite their wealthiest donors to participate in research studies in exchange for a steady flow of incentive-based donations.

 

The Phoenix AMS Private Wealth Study will combine syndicated content with an omnibus feature that allows subscribers to insert questions unique to their organization’s challenges in the UHNW market. Six hundred online interviews will be completed, with quotas at the $5MM-$10MM, $10MM-$20MM and $20MM+ asset levels.  Reports of the study’s results will be customized for each subscribing organization. For details on the study’s design please go to http://www.phoenixmi.com/pdf/Phoenix_AMS_Private_Wealth_Study.pdf.

 

“Traditional mail and telephone research does not yield a representative sample of ultra high net worth households,” explains David Thompson, Managing Director of the Affluent Practice at Phoenix Marketing International. “But using our non-profit-based network makes for a classic ‘win-win.’ Our clients get research access to C-level executives and business owners and wealthy respondents get to support their favorite charity.”
