Need for Wealth Managers:
Wealth Management in India has witnessed multi-fold growth over the last few years. With the GDP rate of India pegged at around 9% coupled with the positive future outlook, India will be experiencing a huge surge in the number of HNI's. With around 2.36 lakh HNI's in India, this number is expected to double and reach 4.8 lakhs from the current level of 2.36 lakhs by the end of 2025. According to the Asia Pacific 2016 Wealth Report, India is placed among the Top 5 when it comes to the number of HNI's in the country. The fast-paced growth of this industry will only aggravate the need of trained wealth managers and financial planners in the future.
