Affluent investors flee to cash

Four out of 10 affluent investors say they are likely to put their money into cash over the next 12 months

A new study shows that affluent investors have all but given up on stocks. For them, 2011 is all about cash.

A full 40% of investors with between $100,000 and $1m in investible assets say they are likely to put their money into cash over the next 12 months, according to the study from Spectrem Group. That's nearly twice the number who say they plan to invest in equities.
