The survey found that 92% of investors with $1 million or more in investable assets kept their money in the market, with 43% of them involved in active buying and selling. That’s despite the fact that 97% of survey respondents lost money in the crash.
Most millionaires, 90%, say their investments are performing at pre-2008 levels and one-fifth of survey respondents said they’re ahead of where they were before the crash.
