The Wealth Management market in Canada is experiencing significant growth and development, driven by various factors such as customer preferences, market trends, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. Customer preferences in Canada are shifting towards a more personalized and holistic approach to wealth management.

Clients are increasingly seeking tailored solutions that align with their individual financial goals and risk tolerance. They are also demanding greater transparency and access to information, as well as digital tools and platforms that enable them to monitor and manage their investments more effectively. In terms of market trends, the Canadian Wealth Management industry is witnessing a rise in the adoption of digital technologies.

Fintech companies are disrupting traditional wealth management models by offering innovative solutions such as robo-advisors, online trading platforms, and automated investment services. These digital platforms provide cost-effective and convenient options for investors, particularly the younger generation who are more tech-savvy and comfortable with online transactions. Another trend in the market is the increasing focus on sustainable and responsible investing.

Canadian investors are becoming more aware of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors and are seeking investment opportunities that align with their values. Wealth management firms are responding to this demand by offering ESG-focused products and integrating sustainability considerations into their investment strategies. Local special circumstances in Canada also contribute to the development of the Wealth Management market.

The country has a high concentration of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) who require sophisticated wealth management services. Additionally, Canada has a strong pension system and a growing number of retirees, leading to a greater need for retirement planning and income generation strategies. Underlying macroeconomic factors such as economic growth, interest rates, and regulatory environment also play a significant role in shaping the Wealth Management market in Canada.

A stable and growing economy provides a favorable environment for wealth creation, while low interest rates encourage borrowing and investment. Furthermore, regulations aimed at protecting investors and promoting market integrity influence the operations and offerings of wealth management firms. In conclusion, the Wealth Management market in Canada is developing in response to changing customer preferences, market trends, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.

The industry is moving towards personalized and digital solutions, with a focus on sustainable investing. The presence of HNWIs and retirees, as well as a favorable economic and regulatory environment, further contribute to the growth and evolution of the market.

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.
