CHAPTER 2 THE AUSTRALIAN WEALTH MARKET MAP

The Australian market looks to be attractive for wealth management versus other markets

Australia's wealth market is attractive in its own right

Retail wealth has grown well

Affluent wealth in Australia is growing strongly

And the affluent population is growing accordingly

Regionaly the wealth market map reveals considerable differences

The value of individual wealth held in each state varies

The wealth in each state displays definite characteristics

Income distribution too varies by region

Across Australia the number of high-income individuals is growing

The income distribution in each state varies greatly

There are a few postcodes around the country that display rapid growth in average income

Through analysis of the wealth map there are clearly gaps that competitors can take advantage of

Competitor coverage is confined to small areas

As a result some areas have been overlooked

Two state capitals are totally overlooked

And rural areas in QLD and WA could offer potential

Individual wealth creation in Australia will slow

Overall wealth will grow strongly, but will not match historical trends

But regional growth will differ greatly
