Key Highlights At the end of 2013, Malaysian
HNWIs held 25.3 (US38 billion) of their wealth
outside their home country, which is level with
the worldwide average of 20-30. 
WealthInsight expects foreign asset holdings to
increase to US49 billion by 2018, accounting for
23.6 of total HNWI assets. In 2013, the
Asia-Pacific accounted for 54.1 of Malaysian
HNWIs foreign assets.   It was followed by
South America with 11.4, Africa with 9.5, North
America with 9.4, the Middle East with 8.0 and
Europe with 7.7. Malaysian HNWI allocations
to South America increased compared with other
regions during the review period, from 6.7 in
2009 to 11.4 in 2013. Asia-Pacific was the other
emerging region in terms of global
investments. Over the forecast period, HNWIs
are expected to increase their levels of
investment in South America to 13.5 of foreign
HNWI assets by 2018, with investments
increasingly being diverted to emerging
economies.
