Summary

While the Indonesian affluent market remains small, it is set for continuous strong growth. In 2018, the affluent population (comprising high-net-worth [HNW] and mass affluent individuals) accounted for only 0.71% of adults in the country. However, the segment held 95.4% of Indonesia’s total onshore liquid assets in 2018, with mass affluents alone holding more than half.

Indonesian HNW investors hold the majority (89.9%) of their investments in liquid assets such as equities, mutual funds, deposits, and bonds. However, wealth managers must remain aware of the slowly increasing investments in illiquid assets, with their proportion expected to rise over the coming years.

Indonesia’s retail savings and investments market has been growing at a constant pace and this trend is expected to continue over the next five years. Overall, the value of the market tripled from $108bn in 2008 to $326bn in 2018 and is expected to cross the $400bn mark in 2022.
