Wealth Management Ukraine 2012
The first dedicated report on Wealth Management in Ukraine provides fascinating observations on the development of a home-grown wealth management marketplace. Today, the richest 100 Ukrainians have an estimated combined net worth of more than US $54bn (Forbes, April 2012), while the richest 200 have US $58.2bn (Focus, March 2012). Figures based on tax data put the number of affluent individuals (those with more than US $100,000 liquid assets) in the country at below 2,000 in 2010. However, qualitative research conducted for this report suggests the figure today is probably in excess of 30,000. Official figures suggest that 30% of high net worth clients in Ukraine use private banking services. However, the leading market participants interviewed for this report believe that this number is optimistic, and that the opportunity is largely unexploited. Factors preventing even more rapid growth include severe restrictions on the legal transfer of capital offshore, a limited stock exchange and the absence of an established private banking culture - amongst both local banks and wealthy Ukrainians. Nevertheless, research for Wealth Management Ukraine 2012 suggests that most wealthy Ukrainians keep about 60% of their assets offshore. This is partly due to a lack of confidence in local banks and partly due to the superior experience offered by more established players elsewhere. Private banking in Ukraine is forecast to grow rapidly. In the first dedicated report on the sector, we provide a snapshot of the current state of play. The research was conducted in Ukraine in the first quarter of 2012 by Eurasia Insights and Ukraine Business Insight magazine, sponsored by Coutts.
