Report Highlights
While in the case of Malaysia in particular, the regulatory environment currently limits entry to this market, with no new licenses to be granted until 2007 and a requirement to operate as locally controlled subsidiaries, markets such as Prototype 1 should be approached with a view towards partnership/joint venture.
As entry strategies for such a market will naturally be constrained by the low level of regulatory openness, the most sensible option for wealth managers in markets such as India is partnership with a local player. This provides the required level of local branding and access to the sizeable client base held by the retail players.
In a market such as Prototype 4 (countries like UAE), wealth managers could consider a stand-alone start-up. However, this should be considered if the product if a provider has either a key specialist skill, or is strong across the board. Those players with specialist skills can also utilize this expertise to become a third-party manufacturer.
