TORONTO, June 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apex Capital Partners, a boutique advisory firm specializing in investment consulting and wealth management for multinational high-net-worth clients, today announced the results of a proprietary survey indicating a significant number of Americans would consider moving abroad amid political and economic unease and hardship.
The survey of 1,733 Americans with a household income of over $200,000 a year was conducted in May 2026 and was equally weighted across party lines (right-leaning, left-leaning and center) as well as gender.
Key insights from the survey include:
- 61% of those surveyed would consider leaving the U.S. within the next five years
- Those surveyed cited cost of living / taxes (68%); political climate (54%); healthcare (39%); public safety (29%); and education (21%) as their primary reasons for considering moving abroad
- Asset diversification outside of domestic US markets is considered by 63% of respondents
- 75% of respondents expressed concern regarding the future of the United States in relation to the Iran War. Specifically, 44% of those surveyed cited the War being significantly concerning, while an additional 31% reported being moderately concerned.
- 42% of those surveyed categorized the economy as either weak or very weak; 27% were neutral; and 31% strong or very strong
- When asked which regions of the world they’d consider moving to, those surveyed prioritized Europe (42%); Canada (18%); and the Caribbean (16%)
"Affluent Americans are increasingly treating immigration as a strategic financial move to safeguard their assets and families against political instability and rising expenses," explained Nuri Katz, founder of Apex. "General unease transcends party lines, with an even distribution of concern among those identifying as left, right, or center. The survey results clearly show motivators and willingness among high net worth Americans to consider and ultimately pursue Golden Visas and alternative citizenship in various European and Caribbean countries.”
