Australia Wealth Management – Market Sizing and Opportunities to 2026
The Australia wealth management market research report analyzes the Australian wealth and retail savings and investments markets, including the overall affluent market size. The report also provides an analysis of the factors driving liquid asset growth, including a breakdown, and forecast of total retail savings and investments split by equities, mutual funds, deposits, and bonds.
Australia Wealth Management Market Dynamics
In 2021, mass affluent investors allocated a noteworthy share of their assets to savings accounts. However, they also hold a higher proportion of their wealth in equities and mutual funds. This shows that mass affluent investors have a higher risk tolerance than mass market and emerging affluent investors. They are more inclined to expose their portfolio to stock market fluctuations in anticipation of higher returns. Emerging affluent investors have the highest share of their wealth held in savings accounts. A notable proportion is also allocated to equities, albeit less than mass affluent investors.
Australia’s HNW investors allocate a sizable portion of their wealth to growth assets such as equities in their quest for higher yields. Property is also key for Australian HNW investors. An increase in the Australian house price index in 2021 supported heightened investor preference. The surge in property prices can mainly be attributed to increased affordability led by a decline in mortgage rates. Supply shortfalls is another major factor that explains why house prices are rising in Australia. However, investment in real estate is expected to slow down in the upcoming year with growing affordability constraints, tightening of macroprudential policies, and reduced incentives. In the property space, investors favor direct commercial property investments and property funds.
