According to the Chinese Mass Affluent Report 2015 published by Forbes China, the mass affluent population is expected to rise to 15.28 million by the end of 2015, many of whom are actively seeking property abroad even if the return of investment is not as good as most of the domestic assets.

The research team at ANBOUND Consulting is of the view that the statistical indicators employed by Forbes were not clear and the definitions of private investible assets were not clear as well.

Although it is true that there are many private investible assets in China, from the perspective of optimizing assets allocation, the allocation of some foreign assets is necessary provided that the related risks must be taken consideration.
