Singapore 2nd most competitive amongst wealth management centres

The country is highly competitive in the mass affluent, high-net-worth segments.

Singapore ranked second in terms of competitiveness in the latest edition of the International Wealth Management Centre Ranking.

The country’s rank remained unchanged from 2018. The number one in competitiveness and overall rankings was Switzerland.

Deloitte, which made the study, said Singapore is particularly highly competitive in the mass affluent and high-net-worth segments.

“It is a Southeast Asian hub servicing many high net-worth individual clients, and can also leverage its status as a major business and lifestyle destination for Chinese clients.

As a hub servicing many high net-worth individual clients, Mohit Mehrotra, Monitor Deloitte Asia Pacific leader, said Singapore can leverage its “status as a major business and lifestyle destination for Chinese clients.”

“It is also a neutral business hub, with a strong track record for innovation, as shown by its first place in the ranking for FinTechs,” Mohit added.

Deloitte said Singapore is also in an advantageous position, especially with the continued growth of wealth in the Asian region, which then leads to further development of Asian international finance centres.

Overall, the wealth management market grew to 10.6%, the highest recorded since the past decade.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
