Overview
The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is quickly becoming a global powerhouse in asset and wealth management, with assets projected to reach $34.5 trillion by 2030. This growth is fueled by dynamic market shifts and strong investment trends, especially the rapid rise of private markets. Private markets have grown from just over 20% of APAC’s asset management revenues in 2012 to more than half in 2024, and are expected to reach nearly 60% by 2030. This marks a major shift in investment strategies and shows how capital markets in the region are deepening and evolving.
