Overview and trends in China’s private wealth market for 2017
Xin Liu
Principal
Bain & Company

According to a joint report from China Merchants Bank and Bain & Company, total personal wealth in China reached RMB 165 trillion in 2016, an increase of almost 50 per cent over two years ago as the world’s most populous nation continues to churn out new cohorts of young, sophisticated and tech-savvy high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs). A notable finding is the significant change in priorities among China’s HNWIs over the past decade whereby there is a perceptible a shift away from wealth accumulation to an emphasis on wealth preservation and inheritance. What are the opportunities arising from China’s growing HNWI population and wealth? What sectors are likely to benefit the most from the strong momentum of wealth creation in China?

  • Overview and trends in China’s private wealth market for 2017
  • Chinese HNWIs investment mentality, behaviour and segmentation
  • Review, outlook and implications of China’s private wealth market
3.30pm
Presentation
