The ability to draw upon significant resources within reach of the global network is quintessential to reporting valuable information exclusively to clients. This is found in The Wealth Report, a premiere publication by Knight Frank which features the latest intelligence and the sharpest insights on issues that matter most to the world’s wealthiest people.
Group Executive Board member Lord Andrew Hay and Regional Head for Asia Pacific Kevin Coppel flew to Manila for the launch of The Wealth Report. Its highly anticipated 12th edition is a comprehensive snapshot of prime real estate markets, investment opportunities, current luxury spending trends, and global wealth distribution.

Continuing its mission to democratise property ownership and educate investment-savvy Filipinos, Santos Knight Frank has become the globally competitive partner the Philippines needs as the nation undergoes a decade of change. and progress.
