Emerging Wealth Management Markets in Asia-Pacific

Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: Datamonitor
Published: January 2007
Product Code: R313-20118
Description
Introduction

Emerging Wealth Markets in Asia-Pacific is Datamonitor’s guide to the affluent wealth landscapes in Malaysia, South Korea and Taiwan. Following the popularity of Datamonitor’s recent research in the Indian and Chinese markets, the report explores some of the less high-profile emerging wealth markets in the Asia-Pacific region.

Scope
  • Based on data 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 in-depth 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

There is some consensus that it is not the high net worth individuals that are the key to the Malaysian market. Rather, it is those individuals with more than EUR100,000 (USD130,000) that are the most attractive market segment.

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.

It has been widely acknowledged that the region is facing a talent shortage in the wealth management space, with competitors at once trying to retain relationship managers and poach others from their competitors.
