    Progress needed to boost the onshore investment proposition

    • What are the opportunities and challenges for Indonesia’s asset management industry?

    • Tax amnesty money (with lock up period expiring) - do we assume that will head back offshore?
    • What developments are we seeing in treasury and structured products like FX, bonds, dual currency investments etc?
    • The domestic capital markets are relatively thin – what can be done to improve them?
    • In Asia - how do ‘funds’ and ‘investment products’ get effectively distributed to clients? Why can’t we do this in Indonesia?
    • Has performance in the local market been lacklustre?
    • Why are deposits still so popular?
    • What must the regulator do? Why don’t they do it?
    • Why the need to restrict financial institutions and intermediaries from offering more access to foreign assets, when there are no restrictions on individuals sending money offshore? And why not offer a wider range of investment opportunities onshore as part of the draw of funds back to the country in the tax amnesty so that much of that hard work does not simply unravel?
    • Any interest in ETFs? And interest in ESG?

We have also incorporated into the summaries below the briefing notes which speakers sent to us in advance of the event. Plus, we have included the results of audience polling as well as questions we received from delegates. Click on each headline to view the PDFs.

Enormous Opportunities, Great Challenges
Indonesia’s huge population is growing fast, and so too is the country’s private wealth. Money has flowed back onshore following the government’s tax amnesty, and the regulators are keen to keep that onshore and boost the onshore proposition. A panel of experts met at the Hubbis Indonesia Wealth Management Forum to give their views on the evolution of the industry and what needs to be done for it to develop more robustly. Greater regulatory creativity is needed, with the regulators working more closely with the private sector. There is a huge conservatism amongst those with money, with deposits the preferred option for more than 90% of the investible money, so market education surrounding investment products must expand rapidly. The same applies to the insurance market, where there are enormous protection gaps throughout the entire population. There is a dramatic shortage of talent to cope with the wealth management industry’s growth, but digital can help incumbent banks and other players boost their proposition.

Platforms and Technology – Digital Transformation for Wealth Management
A panel of technology and FinTech experts, as well as wealth management users/clients, discussed the need for Indonesia’s wealth management firms to embrace digitalisation. They cast their eye over the challenges to be faced and gave some invaluable insights on how wealth management firms can enhance their digital platforms and systems to be both more competitive and more responsive to the needs and expectations of clients. The overriding impression from the discussion was that incumbent financial institutions in highly populous, less mature markets such as Indonesia are in an excellent position if they embrace digital effectively. Far from being fearful of FinTechs and challenger banks, for example, they should enhance their businesses by leveraging their existing client bases and reaching new customers through seamless digitalisation.

The Drive to Boost the Onshore Investment Proposition in Indonesia
Four leading local and regional wealth management experts assembled to debate how the Indonesian market can boost its onshore proposition. After the tax amnesty and with Indonesia clearly wanting to retain as much money as possible onshore, the opportunities are increasing for local advisers and wealth solutions providers. But will the regulators move at the pace required tom liberalise domestic markets? Will the onshore providers be able to go it alone? Or will they need to partner with offshore private banks and other experts?

The Second and Third generations Await in Indonesia’s Wealth Management Market
The wealth management industry must develop its proposition and communication methodologies to gain maximum traction with the second and third generations of wealth in the country, especially as these individuals are more worldly and well educated. The regulator will also want to ensure that as much of this immense and rapidly growing wealth remains onshore, and more returns to the country so must also adapt proactively. An immensely experience group of experts assembled for this discussion, which is truly central to the future of Indonesia’s wealth management market.

Building the Investment Capability and Refining the Wealth Management Proposition
The pace of evolution of Indonesia’s wealth management offerings is lagging behind the rest of the leading Southeast Asian countries, especially Malaysia and Thailand. How can the market improve? During the final panel discussion of the Hubbis Indonesia Wealth Management Forum, a team of experts ranged over the many areas in which the market can raise standards, enhance the range of products and services, boost expertise and enhance the customer experience.
