Wealth is very unequally distributed. In London, those in the top wealth decile (i.e. the 10% of people with the highest wealth) hold 42.5% of London's total net wealth. Those in the bottom decile (the bottom 10%) hold 0% of London's total net wealth, due to negative net wealth held by households in the bottom decile.

In the rest of England a similar divide is found, where the top decile holds 42.6% of total net wealth and the bottom holds 0.1% of total net wealth.

Total net wealth is an estimate of the value of wealth held by all private households, including net property, net financial, private pension and physical wealth.

Information found from the www.ons.gov.uk web sight
Total net wealth includes four main components:
property wealth
physical wealth
financial wealth
privet pensions

property wealth =

net property (value of residences minus mortgage debt)

physical (household contents, vehicles)

net financial (savings or investments minus financial liabilities)

The share of wealth accounted for by each of the four components has remained stable in the latest period, with net property and private pension wealth the biggest components, together accounting for more than three-quarters of total wealth.

Over the last 14 years the proportion of wealth held in private pensions has increased slightly. This category is now the largest component of total wealth at 42%. Over the same period the proportion of wealth held in property fell slightly and was 36% in the latest period. Reasons for this change could include:

privet pensions

Private pensions can be employer-based or personal and are engaged Active pension wealth is held in pensions that are regularly contributed to and usually accumulated during your working life.

Preserved pension wealth is contained within pensions to which contributions are no longer being made, are not yet in payment but have accrued rights that will come into payment at some point in the future.
Active pension wealth is held in pensions that are regularly contributed to and usually accumulated during your working life.

financial wealth
