Hong Kong overtakes Singapore as Asia’s premier wealth management hub

The Lion City is a ‘stagnating’ centre, says Deloitte.

Singapore has been overtaken by Hong Kong in Deloitte's rankings of the world's largest wealth management hubs.

Hong Kong shot past Singapore to clinch fifth place in the list, after achieving a stellar 146% growth in terms of managed assets from 2008-2014.

Meanwhile, Singapore is classified as a "stagnating" centre despite a strong 24% increase in client assets during the same period.

As of 2014, Singapore has a 5% market share in the wealth management race with a total of USD 0.47 trillion in assets. Hong Kong, meanwhile, has a 7% market share with USD 0.64 trillion in assets.

Switzerland remains the world's top wealth management centre with a 22% market share and USD 2.04 trillion in assets, followed by United Kingdom, the United States, and Panama and Caribbean.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
