Key Highlights
 Equities were the largest asset class for Israeli HNWIs in 2013, with 26.2% of total HNWI assets. It was followed by business interests with 25.8%, real estate with 18.0%, fixed-income with 13.2%, cash with 10.0% and alternatives with 6.8%.
 Real estate, business interests and alternatives recorded respective growth rates of 82.4%, 47.7% and 47.1%during the review period. 
 Alternative assets held by Israeli HNWIs increased during the review period from 6.7% of total HNWI assets in 2009 to 6.8% in 2013. HNWI allocations to commodities increased from 1.1% of total assets in 2009 to 1.5% in 2013. 
 WealthInsight expects allocations in commodities to decline over the forecast period, going back to 1.1% 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.
 Israeli HNWI liquid assets amounted to US$208 billion as of 2013, representing 49.4% of wealth holdings.
