Key Highlights
Driven by a very strong economy, over the past few years the Indian wealth market has impressed with growth rates only just below China. Looking forward, although growth is expected to remain robust it is not expected to maintain the stellar performances of the past decade.

The overall Indian retail savings and investment market will continue to exhibit strong growth through 2015-19, recording a compound annual growth rate of 8.3%. The total market will reach $2,226.8bn by the end of 2019.

One of the main drivers for offshoring wealth by Indian HNW individuals is to access a superior range of investment options (cited by 24% of respondents to our 2014 Global Wealth Managers Survey). This is coupled with the desire to globalize and diversify their assets (30%).
