China’s wealth market has quickly grown to become the world’s second largest. It is expected to return to its growth trajectory in 2024, with a total value of $100 trillion by 2025. However, the wealth management market, especially for the private wealth sector, encountered major setbacks due to stock market volatility and a decline in real estate values and continued outflow of capital from HNWI.
These issues, together with regulatory changes, have spurred significant transformation among Chinese wealth managers to react to rising challenges and industry reshuffles.  Competition within the sector has intensified as financial institutions, particularly private banks, compete for a bigger market share. Larger institutions are solidifying their position, leveraging stability and quality to attract clients amid uncertainty.

This report aims to address the current state and future prospects of China's private wealth management sector. Despite recent setbacks such as market volatility and a downturn in real estate values, the sector is expected to grow significantly. The report highlights the transformation driven by regulatory changes, the rise of mutual funds, and the need for wealth managers to adapt through innovative strategies and enhanced client-centric services.
