"Rapidly growing WealthTech players are either developing advanced
wealth management platforms and intuitive advisory solutions for their
partnerships with big banks or using their low-cost structure to
directly tap the middle-class population. Although currently at a
nascent stage within wealth management, payments firms have strong plans
to grow in Asia Pacific, using their e-wallets to help the region’s
vast middle-class population in channeling its savings into wealth
management investments."
Mainland China, with its economy opening up, is the largest market in Asia Pacific with 59% internet penetration and the highest mobile banking adoption at 78% with initiatives such as WealthConnect and online-only banks, strong growth in wealth management platforms, and a growing upper middle-class that have a high demand for robo-advisory. The report notes there has been an increase in investing activity in mainland China from a greater number of younger clients using smartphones.
