• Real estate, business interests and alternatives recorded growth during the review period, at respective rates of 52.9%, 46.7% and 39%.

• Alternative assets held by Malaysian HNWIs increased during the review period, going from 5.2% of total HNWI assets in 2010 to 5.3% in 2014. HNWI allocations to commodities remained the same at 1.8% of total assets over the same period. 

• WealthInsight expects allocations in commodities to decline over the forecast period to reach 1.5% of total HNWI assets by 2019, as global liquidity tightens due to a forecast near-term drop in demand for raw materials from China. This is expected to cause global commodity prices to flatten out.

• Malaysian HNWI liquid assets valued US$76 billion as of 2014, representing 47.4% of total wealth holdings.
