Summary
Driven by economic performance, over the past few
years the Indian wealth market has impressed with
strong growth rates, which are expected to
continue to 2020. India currently holds the crown
as the worlds fastest growing major economy and,
as such, it is beginning to positively distance
itself from Brazil, Russia, and China. This,
aligned with the substantial Indian population,
underlines the huge potential of the market for
wealth managers.

Key Findings
- Affluent individuals represent just 0.8 of the
adult population, holding 93.5 of liquid assets.
This reflects the high levels of wealth
inequality in the country. Both the number of
affluent individuals and their assets are
forecast to grow strongly to 2020.- Driven by a
strong economic performance, the Indian retail
savings and investments market will continue to
exhibit rapid growth from 201620, with a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8.
Assets will reach 2,361.7bn by the end of 2020.

- Deposits and equities will be the major drivers
of growth in the market to 2020 as a result of
robust economic and stock market performance. The
drive for greater financial inclusion will also
increase the share of the market held by
deposits. - Indian HNW individuals allocate
40.6 of their portfolios outside of traditional
liquid asset classes, significantly above the
global average. Direct property remains a key
area of interest (38 of non-traditional assets),
but private equity investment particularly in
start-ups and mid-stage companies is gaining
importance.- Indian HNW offshore allocation is
broadly in line with the global average (19.2 vs
18.7). This is primarily driven by the desire
for geographic diversification, and concerns
about local currency volatility.
