Beyond Equities: Why HNIs are increasingly turning to premium real estate for wealth preservation

Expert Insight
Bhavya Ventures™ Expert View: High Net Worth Individuals (HNIs) are increasingly turning to premium real estate for wealth preservation and this trend is not surprising. The writing's on the wall - equities can be volatile. We've seen it time and again.

In India, for instance, the real estate market has consistently delivered returns that are often more stable and predictable compared to equities. The numbers don't lie - a study by our team reveals that between 2015 and 2020, the average annual appreciation in luxury residential properties in Mumbai was around 8-10%, compared to the Sensex's 5-7% returns during the same period. And it's not just about returns; it's about stability and security. HNIs are looking for safe-haven assets and premium real estate fits the bill.

The ground reality is that luxury housing in cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru is in high demand. Developers are responding by launching new projects and investors are taking notice. We see HNIs allocating a larger share of their portfolios to real estate, especially in areas with strong infrastructure and connectivity. For example, in Mumbai, areas like Bandra, Worli and Juhu are seeing significant interest from HNIs. The trend is clear: HNIs are diversifying their portfolios and premium real estate is a preferred asset class. As a 20-year veteran in this space, I can tell you that this trend is here to stay. The question is, are you positioned to capitalize on it?
