This trend is driven by a desire for more personalized investment strategies and a growing awareness of the importance of long-term financial planning. In addition, there is a growing demand for sustainable and socially responsible investment options.

Customers in Australia & Oceania are becoming more conscious of the environmental and social impact of their investments and are seeking out wealth managers who can offer sustainable investment opportunities. This trend is in line with global developments in the wealth management industry, as customers around the world are increasingly prioritizing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in their investment decisions. Another trend in the market is the increasing use of technology in wealth management.

Fintech companies and digital platforms are gaining popularity in the region, offering customers convenient and accessible wealth management solutions. These platforms provide users with the ability to track their investments, access financial advice, and make investment decisions online. The use of technology in wealth management is driven by the desire for greater transparency, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

Local special circumstances in Australia & Oceania also contribute to the development of the wealth management market. The region is home to a significant number of high-net-worth individuals and families who require specialized wealth management services. These individuals often have complex financial situations and require expert advice to manage and grow their wealth.

The presence of a large number of high-net-worth individuals creates opportunities for wealth managers to cater to their unique needs and provide tailored solutions. Underlying macroeconomic factors also play a role in the development of the wealth management market in Australia & Oceania. The region has experienced steady economic growth in recent years, which has resulted in an increase in disposable income and wealth accumulation.

As individuals and families accumulate wealth, there is a greater need for professional wealth management services to help them protect and grow their assets. Additionally, low interest rates and volatile financial markets have made it more challenging for individuals to navigate the investment landscape on their own, further driving the demand for wealth management services. Overall, the Wealth Management market in Australia & Oceania is developing in response to changing customer preferences, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. The figures are based on gross revenues, assets under management, and user & advisor data of relevant services and products offered within the Wealth Management market.

Modeling approach / Market size:

Market sizes are determined through a combined top-down and bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of key players, industry reports, third-party reports, publicly available databases, and survey results from primary research activities (e.g., the Statista Global Consumer Survey). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as: GDP, gross national income (GNI), consumer spending, total investment (% of GDP), high income (% of population), and number of high-net-worth individuals (HNWI). This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption.

Additional notes:

The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. In some cases, the data is updated on an ad hoc basis (e.g., when new, relevant data has been released or significant changes within the market have an impact on the projected development).

Private wealth management has developed significantly in recent years as a result of the growth of affluence worldwide. The number of millionaires in North America more than doubled between 2010 and 2022. A similar trend can be observed in the Asia-Pacific and Europe. The total wealth of the adult population in Europe has steadily increased since 2010. Private Wealth Management is an increasingly important service as the rate of wealth continues to increase among the general population and affluent high-net-worth-individuals. Coupled with the recent developments in the Fintech market, this has helped to open up new Private Wealth Management products and services to people with smaller amounts of disposable income and expanding services offered to larger clients.
