Highlights
The number of mass affluent individuals in Italy has increased by 0.13 million since 2000 and today accounts for 8.8 per cent of the total population, or 5.1 million.
Until recently, Italian affluent clientele still managed a significant proportion of their finances through standard retail operations and banks had little incentive to set up dedicated private banking services. However, rising wealth and the sophistication of their financial needs have generated a demand for increasingly specialized services.
Fees on products in the Italian financial services market are currently high and customers are offered little clarity over what they are being charged. While the Italian government is considering introducing new legislation making it easier for consumers to understand these fees, few competitors have so far seized on this potential.
