What's the story

According to a report by management consultancy firm Boston Consulting Group (BCG), India is set to become the world's 11th wealthiest nation by 2022, in terms of personal wealth, ahead of prosperous countries like Switzerland, The Netherlands, Taiwan and Singapore.

The report notes that personal wealth in India would grow to $5 trillion from the current $3 trillion by 2022.

Here are the details.

Personal wealth

India's personal financial wealth is growing, and it's growing fast

The report observes that India's personal financial wealth has grown at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12% since 2012, and the growth rate is expected to be 13% between 2018 and 2022.

Notably, this makes India the only nation in the world after China to have a double digit CAGR for personal financial wealth.

Re-investment

Vast opportunities await wealth managers

The report also noted that this vast increase in personal wealth would provide massive opportunities for wealth managers.

According to BCG, nearly 70% of India's personal financial wealth would be available for re-investment by wealth managers and wealth management firms by 2022, up from 67% last year.

The re-investable wealth would be in the for of listed equity, bonds, investment funds, currency, deposits, etc.

Opportunity

Indian banks aren't doing enough to capitalize on the opportunity

Yet, despite this opportunity, BCG notes that Indian banks aren't doing enough to capitalize on it.

According to Anna Zakrzewski, partner and director, BCG Zurich, Indian banks have access to a ton of data in terms of behaviour, investments, life cycles, and more, but currently, they only use "just 25%-30%" of this data.

If this data can be leveraged, a lot can be gained.
