Almost 61 per cent of those surveyed said they planned to increase their overseas holdings in the next two years. Significantly, wealthy Chinese are not motivated by chasing higher returns when they park their savings abroad. Most respondents expected a return of a maximum of 5 per cent on their investments. Instead, they are chasing safe havens, such as property and insurance schemes, cited as the top two destinations for cash. This is driving wealthy Chinese to invest their savings abroad on an unprecedented scale, making China a top exporter of wealth on top of its existing status as number one exporter of manufactured goods. The US was the preferred destination for 42 per cent of survey respondents seeking a safe place for their cash. Its robust economy, coupled with looser visa restrictions and high quality education is making it a magnet for China’s wealthy class. Next ranked were Hong Kong, Australia, Canada and the UK.

Rising home prices propelled 3.5 million U.S. properties out of negative equity in one year, but the number of underwater mortgages will shrink at a slower pace in the future as price appreciation cools, according to data released today by CoreLogic and Trulia. Approximately 6.3 million properties, or 12.7 percent of all U.S. mortgaged properties, were underwater in the first quarter of 2014, according to CoreLogic. That’s down from 6.6 million homes, or 13.4 percent of all U.S. mortgaged properties, in the fourth quarter of 2013, and 9.8 million homes, or 20.2 percent of all mortgaged properties, from a year before. The rapid price appreciation that has lifted so many homeowners out from underwater has slowed recently.  Asking prices were up 8 percent in May from a year ago , the smallest bump in 13 months but still far above the historical norm, according to the latest Trulia Price Monitor. The home-price slowdown has tempered gains in “hyper-rebounding markets,” like Las...
