Key Highlights
 There were just over 74,700 HNWIs in Israel in 2012. These HNWIs hold US$362 billion in wealth which equates to high 63% of total individual wealth held in the country. 
 Over the forecast period, equities are expected to be the top-performing asset class for HNWIs, followed by business interests and alternatives. Cash will be the worst performing asset class. As a result, there will be a movement away from cash and towards alternatives and equities.
 As of 2012, HNWI liquid assets amounted to US$75 billion, representing 21% of the wealth holdings of Israeli HNWIs. 
 WealthInsight's research showed that at the end of 2012, 29% of Israeli HNWIs had second homes abroad. 
 At the end of 2012, Israeli HNWIs held 26% (US$94 billion) of their wealth outside their home country, which is in line with the worldwide norm of between 20% and 30%.
