Introduction
The South Korean Wealth Market 2006 is Datamonitor’s guide to the affluent wealth landscape in South Korea. Following the popularity of Datamonitor’s recent research in the Indian and Chinese markets, the report explores one of the less high-profile emerging wealth markets in the Asia-Pacific region.

Scope
Data was collected directly from governmental sources such as central banks, mutual fund associations and stock exchanges.

Insight into the respective financial services market was obtained through primary interviews with the main wealth managers and private bankers.

Sizing and forecasting of high net worth individuals were generated by Datamonitor's proprietary Global Wealth Model.

Report Highlights
Citigroup Private Bank is seen as a big threat in the Korean market. The bank has a team of local Korean private bankers, which is important in the market. However, Citibank’s strength lies in combining this local team with its international network and subsequent access to a wide range of diverse products and services.

In 2005 investors were selling their equity holdings to purchase property because of rapidly spiraling house prices. At the beginning of 2006 Korea Investment and Securities said that the investment pattern was ill advised and could be disastrous for the balanced investment portfolio as property prices had already approached their peaks.

Foreign banks will have to contend with the fact that the domestic banks are using aggressive pricing tactics, which will make any growth very difficult - especially if the banks want to do it in a profitable way.
