In short

A study of nearly 50 UHNI family members found that just about 30% of men consulted their spouses on financial decisions.

The result suggests many wealthy households do not make money choices together. The report does not say where the study was done or who paid for it.

What the reporting says

A study of nearly 50 UHNI family members found that just about 30% of men consulted their spouses for financial decisions. The reported result suggests household investment choices among wealthy families are often made without broad consultation. What is not stated in the available reporting is where the study was conducted, who commissioned it, or whether the sample covered all family members equally.

Why it matters

The report says a study of nearly 50 female to 70 members of UHNI families found that just about 30% of men consulted their spouses for financial decisions. That suggests investment and money decisions in wealthy households may often remain concentrated with one spouse. The source does not provide the study date, sample breakdown, or any market impact.
