With the rapid expansion and increasing prosperity of Asia-Pacific, demand for financial services and professional investment management has grown significantly. As per GlobalData’s Retail Investments Analytics, the total wealth of Asia-Pacific is set to increase by 1% in 2023, with all asset classes except deposits set to grow compared to 2022. Notably, mutual funds and equities will record respective year-on-year growths of 9.8% and 17.8% in the region.
This growth represents a great opportunity to generate wealth in the Asia-Pacific region. This is perhaps best evidenced by DBS, whose wealth management income rose by 53% year-on-year in H1 2023, reaching $1.6 billion. This growth was mostly driven by revenue from investment product sales and bancassurance in Asia-Pacific.
