However, equities found less favour with the high net worth individuals in 2014 compared to 2013, according to the new Capgemini-RBC Wealth Management ‘World Wealth Report 2014’, which showed a decline in these investments to 24.8 per cent of their total financial assets from 26.1 per cent in 2013.
