Wealth in Malaysia: Sizing the Market Opportunity
SummaryThe small but fast-developing Malaysian wealth market slowed down in 2015 as global economic trends – particularly weak growth in China and falling oil prices – negatively impacted retail investment values. Fortunately, the market continued to grow and expand as a proportion of the population, and although the heady growth rates of recent years are largely a thing of the past, wealth managers can still rely upon steady expansion within the country’s investor class.
Key Findings
- Â The affluent investor class in Malaysia will number 1 million individuals by 2017, adding almost 200,000 people to the market.
- Â Going forward, the proportion of retail investments in deposits is set to fall, highlighting the continued evolution of Malaysian investment preferences.
- Â HNW investors have led the way in branching out into more sophisticated investments, with roughly one quarter of their onshore liquid wealth held in non-traditional investments as of 2015.
- Â Given its proximity and range of sophisticated investments Singapore remains a constant draw for Malaysian wealth, particularly for HNW individuals.
