Thailand Wealth Management Report Overview

Thai HNW investors skew heavily towards males, but female entrepreneurs represent a lucrative target segment. This gender imbalance is higher than in the overall Asia-Pacific region. Wealth managers should examine whether their current engagement strategies fuel this imbalance and alienate female clients.

The Thailand wealth management market report analyzes the investment preferences, service requirements, and portfolio allocation of Thailand’s HNW investors. The report is based on GlobalData’s proprietary Global Wealth Managers Survey.

Thailand Wealth Management Market Dynamics

The vast majority of HNW individuals in Thailand have accumulated their wealth through earned income. Meanwhile, one in five have amassed their wealth through entrepreneurship. However, considering the often more complex needs of entrepreneurs, wealth managers that can cater to this segment’s financial needs (both private and business) will find entrepreneurs more lucrative than professionals.

The financial services industry which is the leading HNW wealth generator in Thailand remained resilient in 2022. Banks recorded year-on-year growth in the loan space, mainly due to the repayment of large corporate loans in the trading sector, mortgage loans, and personal loans. Overall the banking system’s net profit improved mainly due to loan expansions, rising interest rates, and lower provisioning expenses resulting in an increase in net interest income.

Thailand Wealth Management Market - Investment Preferences

The key investment preferences in the Thailand wealth management market are advisory asset management, automated investment services, discretionary asset management, and execution-only asset management. On a net basis, wealth managers anticipate demand for all types of asset management mandates to increase over the next 12 months. However, forecast demand for execution-only asset management is considerably higher than discretionary and advisory mandates. As a result, relationship management and a focus on loyalty must become the central theme of the client-advisor relationship. This will discourage HNW individuals from managing their investments on their own and drive take-up of discretionary mandates

Thailand Wealth Management Market - Reasons for Expatriation of HNW Investors

The drivers of expatriation to Thailand are better lifestyle conditions, better opportunities for expats’ children, business start-ups, job transfer, and political or economic instability in the origin country, among others. Business start-ups and tax efficiency act as the main expatriation factors. Since business start-ups are important in driving expatriation to Thailand, supporting expats with their entrepreneurial endeavors is key. Hence, wealth managers with operations in Thailand (or those familiar with the country’s business environment) are at a clear advantage.

The major asset allocation classes for HNW investors in the Thailand wealth management market include equity, bonds, cash and near-cash, real estate, commodities, and alternatives. Equities constitute the majority of Thai HNW investors’ managed wealth at present. Investors have been cautious in recent years, despite recovering from the COVID-related fall in Thai stocks.

Alternatives have the highest forecast demand over the next 12 months, followed by commodities.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
