A group of local Manila-based and also regional/international wealth management experts will assemble for the virtual Hubbis Digital Dialogue of October 19 to consider how and where the Philippines’ wealth management market is developing, set against the backdrop of other ASEAN countries. They will analyse where there needs to be more progress and what blocks need to be put into place in order to facilitate such progress, such as regulatory liberalisation, greater investment by the local and international players, more trendsetting by the new JV partnerships between onshore and offshore partners, and so forth.

Understanding the key drivers and current competitive environment is vital for the positioning of the local and international players as they jostle for prominence in what is certainly a market of huge potential, as the population keeps growing and as the economy and private wealth creation keep expanding. Even amidst the havoc of the pandemic, the Asian Development Bank is anticipating GDP growth of 4.5% in 2021 and 5.5% in 2022, and with inflation rates expected of 4.1% in 2021 and 3.5% in 2022 and declining interest rates, there are good reasons for the country’s mass affluent and HNWIs to take more cash out of deposits and to invest in the financial markets. Moreover, the demographics are very encouraging - the Philippines has both a huge and a very young and fast-expanding population, the third youngest in Asia.

Although the Philippines has always been one of those economies and markets that has perhaps promised more than it has delivered, there is today mounting optimism that the private sector, the regulators and the government are more aligned than ever in wanting to promote the financial sectors as the country’s population grows so rapidly, as the mass affluent are rising fast and as the government seeks to bring more of the massive offshore wealth of the rich and super-wealthy back onshore. The result is a gradually more diversified range of products and solutions onshore and a broader range of private banks and independent wealth firms, some of the alliances between international names and powerful local financial institutions with the reach across the country’s vast lands and many thousands of islands. Moreover, there is rising interest amongst the wealthy in estate and legacy planning, in alternative assets, in globalising their investment portfolios and in generally enhancing both the risk management and also allocation strategies they adopt.
