ASIA'S ultra-wealthy individuals, defined as those with net assets of at least US$30 million, plan to invest in property this year, Knight Frank's The Wealth Report 2014 has found.
The proportion of Asia's ultra-wealthy who are keen on doing so - 45 per cent - is close to the global average of 47 per cent.
However, it pales in comparison to the level of interest among the Russia/Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) market (at 71 per cent), and the Middle East (at 59 per cent).
Close to a quarter of the Asian wealthy are considering the purchase of a second home in the next 12 months. The UK is the top choice among locations for this, followed by Singapore, the US and Australia.
