Introduction
- This report examines the opportunities for wealth managers looking to
attract the owners of small and medium sized businesses. Research by
Datamonitor has shown that corporate banks in Australia, Hong Kong,
Singapore and South Korea are under-serving their SME clients. This report
asks whether this opens up an opportunity that wealth managers can grab.
Scope of this report
- Looks at the financial needs of businesses and their owners and examines
ways in which wealth managers and business banking teams can work together.
- Sizes the SME and HNW markets in Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and South
Korea.
- Provides action points for wealth managers and SME banks looking to
attract and retain businesses and their owners.
Research and analysis highlights
- There is an enormous opportunity in the market. Not only for wealth
managers to take on the role of advisor to the business owner, but for SME
banks to take an initiative and ramp up their value-added services and
advisory capability.
- By comparison with the number of SMEs, the HNW market is small. For
example, South Korea the largest SME market of the four countries in this
study is home to 2.9 million small and medium sized enterprises.
- In the market there are very few targeted offerings from wealth managers
to business owners and this gap can be exploited by proactive players. If
SME banks, private banks and wealth managers target niches now then they
have time to build up a reputation their chosen segments and will be well
placed when this type of servicing becomes the norm.
