  investment holding options driven by the desire

• Ken Research has announced latest publication on,
  HNW Asset Allocation Trends, which offers a
  detailed insight into the trends prevailing in
  the global wealth management landscape.
  Specifically, the publication examines drivers
  behind the investment choices expected to be made
  by the HNWs over the next 12 months. The report
  also interprets macroeconomic, demographic and
  attitudinal trends that are shaping HNW
  investment behavior. One of the distinct features
  of this report is an interactive online dashboard
  to enable users to select and view the data of
  their choice. The report findings are based upon
  2015 Global Wealth Managers Survey by Verdict
  Financials conducted across 20 key HNW markets
  including the UK, the US and Australia.

• The worldwide HNW investment preferences are
  undergoing a shift in 2016. It is difficult to
  point out any single factor which is driving this
  shift. Instead, the investment choices of HNWs
  are driven by an interplay of factors such as
  macro/micro economic forces, investor attitudes
  and risk preferences. As of 2016, the trend has
  shifted towards relocation of assets towards
  investment holdings worldwide. In addition, there
  is also a trend of cheap buying opportunities in
  the equity space.

• Alternative investment holding options have
  gained popularity because they offer increased
  diversification, thereby enhancing profitability
  and lowering the risks. The popularity of
  alternative investments has come at the expense
  of bonds. HNW investors are typically interested
  in either investing in direct equity, local
  currency products, equity funds or direct
  properties. Even though direct holdings form a
  major part of equities, the ETPs are also
  gaining immense popularity. For instance,
  commodity ETPs have now taken over mutual funds
  in both value and volume of overall output.

• The investment patterns are also driven by
  regional factors such as the economy of the
  country the HNWs belong to. For example, in terms
  of asset allocation preferences, HNWs in Africa
  and the Middle East are heavily skewed towards
  equities. On the contrary, the typical HNW
  portfolio in the Asia-Pacific region are skewed
  towards real estate investment. However, in
  resource-rich countries of the West, the drop in
  commodity prices forced the HNWs to look for
  alternative investment holding options.
  Particularly in North America, the demand for
  alternatives is very high.

• With the increasing number capital appreciation
  opportunities available, investors are forecasted
  to channelize a larger part of their wealth into
  equities. The trend is particularly prominent in
  Europe, where the investors are hopeful that
  loose monetary conditions might finally result in
  stimulation of equity markets. Additionally, in
  the fixed income arena, HNW investors are moving
  beyond high-yield bonds as the concerns regarding
  their volatility are rising. In fact, even wealth
  managers are promoting bond funds over other bond
  holdings in general because of the
  diversification benefits they offer.
