The typical Dutch HNW individual invests heavily into equities, which make up nearly half of the typical HNW portfolio, while bonds constitute another third. Allocations into equities, property, and cash are expected to increase, demand for alternatives will remain unchanged, while demand for bonds and commodities is set to decrease amid low yields and commodity prices.
