Wealth Creators Are Pulling Back from Stocks and Real Estate | TIGER 21 Founder on CNBC

Dynamic, complex, and rapidly changing, today’s economy and geopolitical environment call for thoughtful navigation.
TIGER 21 Founder Michael Sonnenfeldt recently joined CNBC’s Brian Sullivan to share insights into how UHNWIs are positioning their capital in today’s environment.
The takeaway? Preservation over growth.
According to Michael, Members – many who are entrepreneurs that created their wealth from nothing – are stepping back from traditional investments like stocks and real estate. Instead, they’re leaning toward cash and fixed income, signaling trends of caution and prioritizing safety over speedy growth. Explore TIGER 21’s most recent asset allocation breakdown here.
Bitcoin also came up in the discussion. While not for everyone, many TIGER 21 Members now view it as a secure alternative asset—one that can provide stability in turbulent markets.
When investors with an average of $100M+ in net worth are rebalancing toward safety, it’s a signal worth paying attention to. Their cautious approach reflects not just personal strategy, but broader sentiment about the markets ahead.
