Today’s affluent customers are more interested in spending money on living longer and better than on luxury handbags, watches and shoes. Follow the money, they say, if you want to know what’s hot. Quite a few big companies, equity firms, family offices and wealthy individuals have invested a lot of money in longevity and wellness projects – whether it is private clinics, medical research or consumer products such as supplements and serums. It is a highly fragmented and eclectic universe populated by big and small players.

Among the bigger ones, L’Oréal and Kering are at the forefront. The French cosmetics giant and the luxury group agreed last year to form a joint venture dedicated to wellness and longevity.

The cautious outlook sent Burberry’s shares down by a few percentage points. They lost more than 13 percent this week.
