Millionaire World Already Jumps 9.2%

Survey conducted by RBC Wealth Management and Capgemini Financial Services, noting the number of millionaires in the world jumped 9.2 percent to 12 million people last year. Partly because of rising stocks, bonds and real estate markets.

The survey was conducted to track people with high wealth, which has more than $ 1 million fund for investment. Similarly, as reported by Reuters on Wednesday (19/06/2013).

North America, still the home of the millionaire with 3.7 million people. However, a study predicts in the Asia Pacific region, which once held the top spot in 2011, will re-take the position.

The high increase in millionaires in North America comes from rising equity markets, namely the Standard & Poor's 500 rose 13 percent in 2012. North American investors put 37 percent of their money into stocks, a higher portion of millionaires in the Asia-Pacific region, where investors tend to be more conservative.

The amount of wealth owned by the richest people in the world also increased. Substantially, they rose 10 percent to USD46, 2 trillion, far above the $ 40 range before the economic crisis, 7 billion in 2007. This study estimates the wealth of the millionaires will increase 6.5 percent per year to USD55, 8 billion in 2015, primarily due to growth in the Asia-Pacific region.

The survey found that 53 percent of wealthy individuals in the U.S. are choosing to focus on dealing with the accounts of their financial firms. However, a study from Boston-based research firm Aite Group in 2011, showed more than half of the investors who have high wealth, they put the money in four or more financial institutions.

"Having a super advisor would be preferred, but finding someone who can do it well is very difficult," said Aite analyst Sophie Schmitt.

RBC-Capgemini survey conducted on more than 4,000 people who have high wealth in February and March, including 736 of the United States (U.S.) in it.
