Report Highlights
- The bulk of wealth in Asia-Pacific has been created since the 1950s, so until now many of the wealthy families have not had to deal with issues of succession planning and legacies. Now as the patriarchs and matriarchs of these wealthy families are passing away, the need for advice is increasing and the trend towards philanthropy is growing.
- As Australian property prices pass beyond the reach of many investors, the New Zealand market becomes more attractive there is an opportunity for the big Australian banks to step in and add some legitimacy to this market.
- The mass affluent market is an important component of many of the Asia-Pacific markets; this includes developed markets like Australia, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore as well as the emerging markets of China, India, Malaysia and South Korea.
