Canada Wealth Management - Market Sizing and Opportunities to 2025

Based on our proprietary datasets, the publisher’s Canada Wealth Management - Market Sizing and Opportunities 2025” report analyzes the Canadian wealth and retail savings and investments markets, with a focus on the HNW segment. This includes overall affluent market size (both by number of individuals and the value of their liquid assets) as well as a breakdown of liquid vs. illiquid HNW holdings. The report also provides analysis of the factors driving liquid asset growth, including a breakdown and forecast of total retail savings and investments split by asset classes including equities, mutual funds, deposits and bonds.

Canada’s affluent segment (covering HNWs and mass affluents) accounted for 32.4% of the total population and held 83.6% of Canada’s total onshore liquid assets in 2020.the majority of the affluent segment holds their wealth in deposits and mutual funds. Therefore, as the outbreak of the COVID19 pandemic caused big downward shifts in the market performance of the country, the country’s affluent population did not incur huge losses due to their leaning quite heavily on safe haven assets. In addition, losses in the equities market were also recovered in the second half of 2020 which saw an easing of lockdown restrictions and restarting of the Canadian economy, thereby, causing a rebound in the stock market performance. Nevertheless, a strong predicted retail investments growth is expected over the upcoming period, owing to an effective vaccine program which will raise investor confidence in the economic performance of the country. Further, the country’s savings and investments market is observing a growing preference for robo-advisory by the HNW investors. This demand has also been accelerated by the outbreak of the pandemic that has been a catalyst in increasing the use of digital products and services.
