Among those which represent almost 12%, they are between €10,001 and €50,000, and there are just over 3% which exceed €50,000.
However, looking to the future, a considerable number of respondents (69%) would be ready to increase their investment above 10,000 euros and they would only choose to divest early if they needed immediate liquidity.
