 WealthInsight expects foreign asset holdings will increase to US$377 billion by 2018, accounting for 38.1% of total HNWI assets.
 In 2013, Europe accounted for 55.7% of the foreign assets of Swedish HNWIs. 
 It was followed by North America with 16.1%, Asia Pacific with 15.4%, the Central and Southern America with 7.9%, Africa with 4.6% and the Middle East with 0.2%.
 Swedish HNWI allocations to Europe decreased sharply compared with other regions during the review period, from 82.1% in 2009 to 55.7% in 2013. North America and Asia-Pacific were the emerging regions in terms of global investments.
 Over the forecast period, WealthInsight expects HNWIs to decrease their levels of investment in Europe over the forecast period to 44.6% of foreign HNWI assets by 2018, with investments increasingly being diverted to emerging Asia-Pacific economies.
