Risk appetite on rise among Gulf-based individual investors | GulfNews.com

Risk appetite on rise among Gulf-based individual investors | GulfNews.com:



"Gulf-based individual investors surveyed in the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait ranked as the world’s most risk tolerant investor group, according to a global survey by Natixis Global Asset Management, a global asset management company in the world.



Nearly 70 per cent of Gulf-based respondents are more willing to endure higher levels of risk now than they could a few years ago, in contrast to less than half of global investors (49.7 per cent) who say the same. The survey finds that for more than 83 per cent of the Gulf investors, asset growth is increasingly becoming a priority over simply protecting principal.



The risk tolerance in Europe was found still lagging with 71 per cent of respondents in the mood to take as little risk as possible. The overall mood is better in the US, with 53 per cent of respondents willing only to assume minimal risk. Progress is evident, but it is not happening at a velocity that creates exposure to the additional risk necessary to meet retirement objectives."
