Nearly nine out of 10 high-net-worth investors (HNWIs) in Asia who are already invested in alternatives are open to investing more, according to Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions’ Alternative Investing Survey.
According to the alternatives specialist, 87% of investors in alternatives are open to investing more in the asset class.
Moreover, 44% of alternatives investors would be comfortable with a 25% allocation to alternatives.
Indeed, 85% of investors already invested in alternatives believe having an alternatives allocation will drive better long-term outcomes than a traditional portfolio.
With regards to those currently not invested in alternatives in Asia, 83% cited lack of understanding as the reason why they were currently not invested.
Compared with North America, a larger percentage of investors have experience with alternatives at 77% versus 54%.
“Asia Pacific is a strategically important region for Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions and our proprietary research underscores the growing demand for alternatives from HNW investors, as well as the critical role that their financial professionals play,” said Jeremy Hall, managing director and head of Asia Pacific for Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions.
The survey canvassed the opinions of HNWIs in Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan with at least $2.5m in household investable assets.
