Key Highlights
In Germany, affluent individuals account for 19.8% of the population but hold over 73.4% of total German retail liquid assets.

With the exception of bonds, we forecast growth across all major retail savings and investment products. Demand for deposits remains unbroken, and we forecast continued annual growth of 3.5% until 2019. The strongest growth rates, however, are expected for equities and mutual funds.

German HNW individuals tend to hold the majority of their assets in traditional liquid assets such as deposits and mutual funds, but wealth managers must also take into account that 20% of German HNW assets are allocated to less liquid alternative and property investments.
