Singapore: Sizing the Market Opportunity” which provides a detailed analysis of the Singapore
wealth management and distribution market. Category-wise coverage of different segments in the industry is
also included in the report. The report enables the reader to interpret future
outlook on how the market will shape up by the end of this decade.
Singapore
is the world’s fastest growing wealth hub and has overtaken Switzerland as the
world’s largest offshore wealth centre. The Singaporean multimillionaire status
has been acquired from being a CEO of bank, hedge fund, private investment,
wealth advisory. The centre for Asia Pacific private banking is considered to
be Singapore. Wealth managers in Singapore target mass affluent, which includes
young, upwardly mobile professionals with more than USD 6,000 earning a month.
The fastest growing asset class will be bonds because of greater availability
not due to client demand.
With
81% of the wealth invested in funds sourced from non-residents, Singapore has
become one of the world’s pre-eminent offshore investment centres. Singapore is
set to sign FATCA in 2017 and bring changes in its tax structure. There are 1.0 million affluent individuals
despite the city state’s small population making the onshore market a major
source of assets under management (AUM). 34% of AUM is invested offshore,
showing interests if the residents to invest abroad. China, India and Indonesia greatly influence
Singapore’s growth rates being a regional trading hub. Even with growth slowing
in some of these countries, Singapore’s wealth market will continue to post
high growth rates.
A
fall in the number of Ultra-high net worth individuals in Singapore has been
observed in 2015. The reason behind this is the global 3% decline in total
number of UHNWIs. However, the forecast shows that the population of UHNWI will
increase by 48% over next 10 years. Singapore is at third position in the world
for its importance to UHNWIs in 2016. HNW liquid assets are forecasted to grow
approximately by 7.5% a year between 2015 and 2019. Singapore’s asset under
management has been showing 30% year-on-year growth. The reasons attributed to
this growth are positive asset inflows from Asia and Singapore’s position as
asset management hub.
Global Wealth Market
The
global wealth market is on continuous growth path. The affluent population is
growing and is expected that by end of this year there will be more than 10
million HNW investors. The US will remain the largest wealth market.
