“• In 2013, real estate was the largest asset class for Argentinian HNWIs, with 31.0% of total HNWI assets, followed by equities with 21.0%, business interests with 15.0%, cash and deposits with 12.0%, fixed-income with 11.0%, and alternatives with 10.0%.
• Equities, alternatives and business interests recorded growth at respective review-period rates of 83%, 79% and 77%.
• Alternative assets held by Argentinian HNWIs increased during the review period, from 8.6% of total HNWI assets in 2009 to 10.0% in 2013. HNWI allocations to commodities increased from 1.4% of total assets in 2009 to 2.0% in 2013.
• Over the forecast period, allocations in commodities are expected to decline to 1.5% of 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, Argentinian HNWI liquid assets amounted to US$70.4 billion, representing 44.0% of wealth holdings.”
