NEW YORK, April 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Summary
Thanks to lower economic productivity, the remarkable wealth growth rates of the past few years will not be repeated in China over the forecast period. Nevertheless, strong predicted retail investments growth - led by strong mutual fund performance - will continue to see the market grow at a faster rate than in the wider region. Between 2015 and 2019 liquid assets held by affluent individuals are forecast to record a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%, representing a sizable opportunity for wealth managers operating in the country.

Key Findings
- At the end of 2015, of the approximately 1.05 billion adults living in China 3.5% could be considered affluent.

- Asset growth is expected to be strongest in the $10m+ asset band, which will record a CAGR of 14.1% between 2015 and 2019, compared to a CAGR of 8.8% for mass affluent individuals.

- Deposits continue to dominate China's retail investments market, but mutual fund holdings are forecast to grow at the fastest pace over the next five years.

- Chinese high net worth (HNW) investors allocate a noteworthy proportion of their investable assets into non-traditional investments, mostly in direct property. However, this is expected to change thanks to the recent drop in property prices.
