By GlobalDataJust 2% of UK and epat investors surveyed said
Europe will perform best among international markets, indicating a
shift in confidence away from Europe.
Conversely 48% see Asia as the most attractive
market, while USA and Australia were second and third with 16% and
9% respectively.
Annemarie Jung, CEO of Internaxx Bank, a TD
Company servicing international and epat investors, said that
economic turmoil in countries such as Greece and Ireland had
persuaded investors to spread their assets to different
regions.
“Now more than ever it is important they have
the opportunity to diversify across different asset classes and
international markets where they can,” she said.
Independent research into markets is becoming
more popular, with 45% of UK and 48% of epat investors now relying
on online news rather than the advice of brokers, the research
found.
