Indian high net worth savings can be classified into five vehicles you can say. According to us, on the stock the biggest should be real estate. Second should be fixed income, third would be alternate investment and in Indian context that is gold, some bit of silver and not hedge funds. Four would be cash and the smallest asset class is equity, as per our estimate the public shareholding should be around USD 200 billion.
