- Private Banker International's Top 20 Asia-Pacific AuM Benchmark reveals a drop in assets under management.
- Foreign banks still dominate the rankings with 11 out of 16 of these reporting AuM that remained static or fell in 2011.
- Citi regained its leading position increasing AUM by 8% to $193bn. UBS and HSBC follow in second and third respectively. |
LONDON / SINGAPORE, Oct 24, 2012 - (ACN Newswire) - Private Banker International's Top 20 Asia-Pacific AuM Benchmark, a survey of the region's leading private banks released today reveals that assets under management (AuM) growth in Asia-Pacific flatlined in 2011 in dollar terms, dropping from $1,105bn to $1,099bn.
Nicholas Moody, editor of Private Banker International comments: "The fall in aggregate AuM growth in Asia-Pacific hit foreign banks particularly badly, while the Asia-based banks held up well. This could perhaps be an indication that local banks are gaining confidence of investors in the region."
The study, which ranked banks by AuM for HNW clients with investable assets of more than $1m, shows that global banks continue to dominate the top spots. Assets managed by the four Asia-based banks represent only 11.6% of total assets in the Top 20.
Citi is the biggest riser. It regained its leading position increasing AuM by 8% to $193bn. UBS and HSBC follow in second and third respectively.
The biggest drop came from HSBC which fell 14% to $129bn, though this could have been linked to its sell-offs of non-core parts of its wealth businesses, notably Japan (although Japan's AuM loss was understood to be worth about $3bn).
Moody added: "DBS remained the highest ranked Asian-headquartered private bank with $39bn in AuM, although Standard Chartered and Bank of Singapore are breathing down its neck."
He further added that "Universal banks, particularly with strong retail offerings, have a clear advantage in the rankings and also are ahead in the race to target those HNWIs with $1m - $5m - a core segment for Asian private banks."
This year's ranking confirms that although Asia's total wealth market is growing significantly, the largest private banks and wealth managers can't expect client assets to fall into their laps. They must work smarter and think more innovatively to win over a sophisticated set of HNW investors.
"The high operating costs and jittery investors mean that the wealth management industry is heading towards the survival of the fittest in the race for global wealth," said Moody.
