Key Highlights
 In 2013, real estate was the largest asset class for Indian HNWIs, with 30.0% of total HNWI assets, followed by business interests with 23.6%, equities with 23.1%, alternatives with 8.5%, fixed-income with 7.9%, and cash and deposits with 6.9%.
 Alternatives, business interests and real estate recorded growth at respective review-period rates of 69%, 57% and 48%. 
 Alternative assets held by Indian HNWIs increased during the review period, from 7.3% of total HNWI assets in 2009 to 8.5% in 2013. HNWI allocations to commodities increased from 3.8% of total assets in 2009 to 4.9% in 2013. 
 Over the forecast period, allocations in commodities are expected to decline to 3.6% 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, Indian HNWI liquid assets amounted to US$476.8 billion, representing 37.8% of wealth holdings.
