Identifies the key trends for 2007 within wealth management Covers the global market, examining established markets as well as the regions that offer the greatest scope for new business development Draws on the wealth team's extensive research into the important client segments, regions, products and services in the wealth market throughout 2007

Highlights

While Hong Kong is already saturated in terms of the number of wealth management providers and Japan faces a decline in the number of wealthy individuals and the liquid assets they hold, significant opportunities exist for wealth managers in markets such as China and India. Datamonitor predicts that the recent interest of HNW investors in Asian equity-based instruments will be intensified in 2008. In 2007, wealth managers focused on developing structured products, investment accounts and investment funds, which offered clients opportunities for investment in Asian equity. Business owners/ entrepreneurs are seen as the most receptive to innovative products and services and they are also keen to be actively involved in the management of their portfolios. The latter contributes to their need for frequent communication with their wealth manager; however they also value providers who offer high online functionality.
