"Overall, the world looks a safer, more normal place now for high-net-worth investors than it did this time last year," Tom Elliot, the deVere Group’s international investment strategist, said in a statement.

DeVere Group CEO Nigel Green attributes the increased optimism to "the U.S. economy performing strongly even with quantitative easing being tapered, the eurozone returning to growth, and the U.K.’s potential of reaching 3 percent GDP growth this year, amongst other key factors."

Meanwhile, a survey of wealthy investors by New York Life's MainStay Investments found that they are increasing their allocations to alternative investments, while cutting their cash and stock holdings, Investment News reports.

About 60 percent of those that had alternative investments increased them in the last year, and 25 percent expect to lift their holdings in the future, according to the poll.
