Knight Frank’s 2026 Wealth Report brings together analysis of wealth, prime property and luxury. Its twentieth edition considers how private capital responds to a changing geopolitical and real-estate environment.
Why it belongs in the reading room
For a private-hospitality publication, this is useful context for questions about destinations, property ownership and the movement of wealthy households. It does not by itself establish demand for holiday-home rentals.
The PHJ question
Where does the movement of capital intersect with temporary stays, and where does it not? A rental-market story should connect the broader context to separately verified booking, supply and guest evidence.
