Additional report highlights:
Despite unfavorable world market conditions, the South African wealth management market is growing rapidly. The market is attractive not only for local development, but also to foreign institutions, as it holds US$200 billion in wealth. Much of the growth in South Africa’s wealth management and private banking sector over the past decade has been driven by growth in personal wealth and the number of HNWIs and UHNWIs. Wealth contrasts are a sensitive matter in the country, with poverty remaining a significant unsolved issue.
Over the forecast period, allocations in commodities are expected to decline to below 2% of the total HNWI assets by 2018, as global liquidity tightens due to a forecast near-term drop in demand from China for raw materials that will cause global commodity prices to flatten out.
Compared with other regions, South African HNWI allocations to Africa increased during the review period, rising from 21% in 2009 to 27% in 2013. Africa was the emerging region in terms of global investments, especially from prosperous neighboring countries. Over the forecast period, South African HNWIs are expected to further increase their levels of investment in Africa to 30% of foreign HNWI assets by 2018. Investments are increasingly being diverted to the continent.
