近半數中國富人仍希望移居歐美

The US remains a magnet for wealthy Asian entrepreneurs even as its growth lags behind developing markets, new research has found.

最新研究發現，儘管美國的經濟增速落後於發展中國家，但仍對富有的亞洲企業家有着很強的吸引力。

The report, by Barclays Wealth, found that those who made their money in booming economies such as China still hoped to move to North America and Europe in search of stability and better business prospects.

巴克萊財富(Barclays Wealth)發佈的這份報告發現，在中國等蓬勃發展的經濟體發跡的企業家，仍希望移居到北美和歐洲，以覓得穩定和更好的商業前景。

Over the next five years, almost half of China’s rich expected to move, with the US then Europe the most likely destinations. Qataris and Latin Americans were also likely to be planning moves. But only 6 per cent from North America and 12 per cent from Europe were considering Asia.

未來5年，中國有近一半的富人希望移居海外，美國和歐洲是最有可能的目的地。卡塔爾和拉美的富人很可能也在計劃移居海外。但在北美和歐洲，分別只有6%和12%的富人在考慮移居亞洲。

Some 15 per cent of the global rich are likely to move within the next five years, rising to almost a third for those who consider themselves entrepreneurs.

約15%的全球富豪可能會在未來5年裏移居海外，對應的人數升至自認爲是企業家的人羣的近三分之一。

Christian Berchem, head of UK key clients and family offices for Barclays Wealth, said entrepreneurs “will go where the next step for their businesses takes them”.

巴克萊財富英國關鍵客戶與家族理財室主管克里斯蒂安•貝爾赫姆(Christian Berchem)表示，企業家“會移居到有利於他們企業下一步發展的地方”。

Liam Bailey, head of residential research at Knight Frank, the property consultancy, said that the “Anglosphere” remains popular for its use of English, good education system and stable government.

地產諮詢公司萊坊(Knight Frank)的住宅研究主管利亞姆•貝利(Liam Bailey)表示，“盎格魯文化圈”(Anglosphere)仍因其使用英語、教育體制良好和政府穩定而頗受歡迎。

Just under half of the 2,000 people Barclays surveyed had lived in more than one country and a fifth in three or more countries.

在巴克萊調查的2000人中，有略低於一半的受訪者曾在一個以上的國家居住過，五分之一的受訪者在三個或更多的國家居住過。

“A number of entrepreneurs we have spoken to are looking towards overseas expansion to other English-speaking markets, such as the US and Australia, while others are researching ways to gain access to newer, untapped markets in Asia and Latin America,” said Mr Berchem.

貝爾赫姆表示：“很多受訪的企業家正考慮向其他說英語的國家進行海外擴張，例如美國和澳大利亞；另一些企業家則在設法進入亞洲和拉美的更新的、尚未開發的市場。”

While Asian, European and North American wealthy individuals prioritised higher returns and better interest rates when moving their money abroad, 74 per cent of respondents in Africa, 54 per cent in Latin America, and 40 per cent in the Middle East, say that finding a safe is one of the main reasons for doing so.

亞洲、歐洲和北美的富人在將資金轉移到海外時，優先考慮的是更高的回報率和利率，但在非洲、拉美和中東，分別有74%、54%和40%的受訪者表示，爲資金找到一個安全之所是他們將資金轉移到海外的主要原因之一。

The UK has seen the number of non-domiciled multimillionaires rising 15.2 per cent between 2011 and 2013, fuelling the London property market.

在英國，身份爲非永久居民的富豪的人數，在2011年至2013年間增長15.2%，促進了倫敦房地產市場的繁榮。

But even Londoners are prepared to move. Anthony Rushton, who set up Telemetry in 2009, established a New York base for the online business 18 months ago. It helps identify fraud in online advertising, whereby criminals register false interest using bots or drive up prices in automated online auctions.

就連倫敦人也準備移居海外。2009年創建Telemetry公司的安東尼•拉什頓(Anthony Rushton)，18個月前爲其在線業務設立了紐約總部。此舉有利於該公司甄別在線廣告中的欺詐行爲。犯罪分子會利用網絡機器人登記虛假購買興趣，或者在自動在線拍賣中推高價格。

Mr Rushton, 42, said his family moved for four weeks while the office was being set up. “I go over there one weekend a month as that is where our customers are.”

現年42歲的拉什頓表示，在紐約總部建立期間，他的家人搬到那裏住了四周。“我每月有一個週末會到那邊，因爲我們的客戶在那邊。”

They tend to cluster around certain cities. Many identify themselves as “multinational” and a majority in Asia and Latin America believe their children will live in even more countries than they have.

這些企業家往往會聚居在某些城市周圍。很多人自視爲跨國人士，亞洲和拉美的多數企業家相信，他們子女未來要居住的國家會比他們還要多。

A fifth of wealthy individuals in the UK are setting their sights on new horizons but they tend to be older. Almost a third were looking to retire, a fifth seeking a lower cost of living. But the most popular choice was no surprise – 44 per cent wanted warmer weather.

在英國，有五分之一的富人正考慮移居海外，但他們的年紀往往比較大。其中近三分之一正考慮退休，五分之一想搬到生活成本更低的國家。選擇比例最高的一項完全在人們意料之中：44%的人想搬到更暖和的地方去住。
