Heat map: 5 main cities in Southeast Asia where most numbers of ultra rich reside

Singapore isn't the powerhouse of the ultra rich.

According to Wealth-X's WORLD ULTRA WEALTH REPORT 2012 - 2013, While Singapore has emerged as a global wealth management hub, it is Indonesia that has topped the subregion as the powerhouse of Ultra High Net Worth individuals's wealth and population growth.

Indonesia's total wealth change in 2012 jumped more than 40% while Singapore's dropped by 8.8%.

Wealth-X says:

South East Asia has displayed financial resilience amidst the ongoing global crisis, that is a legacy of the 1997 Asian financial crisis. The sub-region’s economies expanded 4.3% in Q1 2012, according to the Asian Development Bank. Growth largely came from the strong rebound in Thailand after the flood-related disruptions of 2011 and robust growth in the Philippines.

Large-scale investments in infrastructure and burgeoning private consumption, driven by a growing middle class and social reforms, are key drivers of growth in the sub-region. Strong domestic demand has helped offset weaker export figures as consumer confidence increased across
the region, particularly in Thailand and Indonesia.

Luxury consumption across the sub-region has remained stable despite the global uncertainty and natural disasters, a reflection of the strength of the economies that form the regional subset. South East Asian equity markets continue to see IPO activity, despite a slowdown in equity markets elsewhere, with Indonesia as a star performer.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
