Analyst Opinion

The Wealth Management market in Sri Lanka has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by various factors such as changing customer preferences, emerging trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. Customer preferences in the Wealth Management market in Sri Lanka have been shifting towards a more personalized and holistic approach.

Clients are seeking tailored solutions that address their unique financial goals and risk appetite. They are also increasingly demanding transparency and ethical investment options. This shift in customer preferences is in line with global trends, as individuals are becoming more informed and conscious about their financial decisions.

One of the key trends in the Wealth Management market in Sri Lanka is the growing adoption of technology. Fintech companies and digital platforms are gaining traction, providing convenient and accessible wealth management services to a wider range of clients. This trend is driven by the increasing smartphone penetration and internet usage in the country.

Technology is enabling wealth managers to offer innovative solutions such as robo-advisory services, which use algorithms to provide automated investment advice. Another trend in the market is the focus on sustainable and socially responsible investing. Sri Lanka, being a country with a rich natural heritage and a growing awareness of environmental and social issues, has seen a rise in demand for investments that align with ethical and sustainable principles.

Wealth managers are responding to this trend by offering products and services that integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into the investment process. In addition to these global trends, the Wealth Management market in Sri Lanka is influenced by local special circumstances. The country has a high savings rate, with individuals and families placing great importance on wealth preservation and long-term financial planning.

This cultural mindset contributes to the growth of the wealth management industry, as individuals seek professional advice to manage and grow their assets. Furthermore, the government's initiatives to promote foreign investments and develop the capital market have created opportunities for wealth managers in Sri Lanka. These efforts have attracted foreign investors and stimulated economic growth, leading to an increase in the number of high-net-worth individuals and their wealth.

The underlying macroeconomic factors in Sri Lanka, such as stable economic growth, low inflation, and a favorable regulatory environment, have also contributed to the development of the Wealth Management market. These factors provide a conducive environment for wealth managers to operate and attract both local and foreign investors. In conclusion, the Wealth Management market in Sri Lanka is experiencing growth due to changing customer preferences, emerging trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.

Wealth managers are adapting to these dynamics by offering personalized and technology-driven solutions, incorporating sustainable investing practices, and capitalizing on the country's high savings rate and favorable economic conditions.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. The figures are based on gross revenues, assets under management, and user & advisor data of relevant services and products offered within the Wealth Management market.

Modeling approach / Market size:

Market sizes are determined through a combined top-down and bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of key players, industry reports, third-party reports, publicly available databases, and survey results from primary research activities (e.g., the Statista Global Consumer Survey). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as: GDP, gross national income (GNI), consumer spending, total investment (% of GDP), high income (% of population), and number of high-net-worth individuals (HNWI). This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption.

Additional notes:

The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. In some cases, the data is updated on an ad hoc basis (e.g., when new, relevant data has been released or significant changes within the market have an impact on the projected development).
