A new survey of family offices by Citi finds that the wealthy are
cash heavy—meaning they may fall short of the investment returns they're
expecting.
Wealthy families have about 39 percent of their assets in cash, according to a recent poll of more than 50 large family office representatives from 20 countries conducted by Citi Private Bank.
Stocks represented about 25 percent of portfolios on average. Bonds
were about 17 percent of the asset mix and various classes of less
liquid and alternative investments amounted to 19 percent.
