Key Highlights
 In 2013, real estate was the largest asset class for HNWIs in Sweden with 24.3% of total HNWI assets, followed by equities with 17.5%, business interests with 17.5%, cash & deposits with 15.5%, fixed-income with 15.5%, and alternatives with 9.7%.
 Equities, business interests and alternatives recorded growth during the review period at 77%, 49% and 47% respectively. 
 Alternative assets held by Swedish HNWIs increased during the review period from 9.3% of total HNWI assets in 2009 to 9.7% in 2013; HNWI allocations to commodities increased from 1.5% of total assets in 2009 to 1.9% in 2013. 
 Over the forecast period, WealthInsight expects allocations in commodities to decline to 1.5% 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.
 As of 2013, Swedish HNWI liquid assets amounted to US$375 billion, representing 48.5% of wealth holdings.
