- Equities, alternatives and business interests recorded growth during the review period at respective rates of 53.0%, 46.0% and 36.0%.

- Over the forecast period, WealthInsight expects allocations in commodities to decline to 1.3% of total HNWI assets by 2018, as global liquidity tightens due to a forecast near-term drop in demand from China for raw materials. This is expected to cause global commodity prices to flatten out.
