The report also includes projections of the volume, wealth and asset allocations of South Africa HNWIs to 2018 and a comprehensive and robust background of the local economy.
– This report is the result of Publisher’s extensive research covering the high net worth individual (HNWI) population and wealth management market in South Africa.
Key Highlights
– In 2013,
equities was the largest asset class for South African HNWIs, with 27.1% of total HNWI assets.
This was followed by real estate with 26.3%;
business interests with 14.7%;
cash and deposits with 12.6%;
fixed-income with 11.5%; and
alternatives with 7.8%.
– Alternatives, equities and business interests recorded growth at respective review-period rates of 58%, 58% and 46%.
– Alternative assets held by South African HNWIs increased during the review period, from 7.1% of the total HNWI assets in 2009 to 7.8% in 2013.
– Over the forecast period, allocations in commodities are expected to decline to 1.7% of the total HNWI assets by 2018, as global liquidity tightens due to a forecast near-term drop in demand from China for raw materials that will cause global commodity prices to flatten out.
– In 2013, South African HNWI liquid assets amounted to US$102.4 billion, representing 51.2% of wealth holdings.
