China Investment Immigration White Paper: Where does the money of the rich go?

Based on a special survey of 240 Chinese high-net-worth individuals with an average wealth of 27 million yuan, Hurun Research Institute recently released the "2016 Hurun Immigration? Hurun China Investment Immigration White Paper" (Immigration and the Chinese HNWI 2016). What are the areas worth paying attention to in this report, and what new investment trends can we learn from?

In the "2016 Hurun Rich List", you can see that many entrepreneurs on the list are actively making overseas strategic investments, mergers and acquisitions, and real estate purchases.

In addition to these figures of entrepreneurs on the list, today we share the "China Investment Immigration White Paper" released for the third consecutive year. The above shows that high-net-worth individuals with personal assets of more than 10 million are now more active in “going global” than in the past.

How do they get out?

It’s very simple. The first is to buy a house first, and the second is to make foreign exchange deposits. The top five cities with the most active overseas real estate purchases are all in North America, namely Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, New York and Boston. The other five most active cities are two in Canada, two in Australia, and Singapore. What Chinese high-net-worth individuals are most concerned about is buying property and investing in immigration.

Why buy a house? More than half of the people are particularly worried about the general trend of RMB depreciation, so they make some preparations first, such as making foreign exchange deposits before buying a house. We interviewed 240 high-net-worth individuals. Among them, the first batch of overseas property buyers already have 40% of their assets overseas.

Finally, we combined eight major aspects such as immigration, visa, education, and investment environment to create an index of the ten most suitable countries for Chinese high-net-worth individuals. The United States ranked first, the United Kingdom ranked second, and Australia and China were ranked second. Canada, you can pay attention.
