Indonesian wealth management AUM reaches US$70bn
Indonesia’s private banks and wealth managers saw a 15% growth in their total AUM to US$77 billion. While growth slowed from 2023’s 22%, the country benefited from increasing domestic demands and steady foreign and domestic direct investment, tempered by global market volatility and geopolitical uncertainties.
According to APB Insights’ 2024 Indonesia Private Banking & Wealth Management AUM League Tables, almost all players experienced growth in AUM, with an average growth rate of 9% per bank.
Explaining their growth, Indonesian banks pointed to digital enhancements as well as increased partnerships.
Leading this growth are the table’s top three players. Bank Central Asia grew its AUM by 28%, while Bank Rakyat and Mandiri Private posted growth rates of 15% and 16%, respectively.
Growing collaborations
As increasingly sophisticated clients seek diversification opportunities, Indonesia’s private banks are expanding their networks to broaden their offerings and product shelves.
In 2024, Bank Mega collaborated with fund managers, including Schroder Investment Management Indonesia, Ashmore Asset Management Indonesia, and Manulife Asset Management Indonesia, to offer diversification opportunities through mutual funds, attracting a wave of new investors to the bank.
Beyond external partnerships, CIMB Niaga Private Banking also encouraged internal collaborations. The bank leveraged its network in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand to facilitate cross-border referrals while using its CIMB Group Platform to deliver financial solutions.
“Local banks are stepping up their game, enhancing their product suites and digital capabilities to better serve affluent clients,” Inge Halim, head of Indonesia at Synpulse, told APB.
“That said, many high net worth individuals still see value in maintaining a globally diversified portfolio, balancing onshore opportunities with international exposure,” Halim added.
Digital transformation
Catering to tech-savvy clients, Indonesian banks are boosting their digital capabilities to sustain growth.
At Bank Central Asia, enhancements to the bank’s online wealth management service resulted in a 26% year-over-year increase in overall investment product transactions, while enabling customers to perform online risk profile assessments.
Banks are also leveraging technology to elevate the client experience. Bank Rakyat uses robo-advisors to enhance personalised interactions in wealth planning. OCBC NISP provided its relationship managers with a customised application for delivering services anytime and anywhere.
“We’re seeing traditional institutions modernise their platforms, partner with fintech, and leverage digital tools to enhance compliance, streamline operations, and improve client experiences. The push toward e-KYC and digital onboarding is another game-changer, making it easier and more efficient for clients to access financial services,” said Halim.
Methodology
Some banks publicly state their regional AUM totals, others don’t. Therefore, the datasets presented here contain a mix of estimates, shared, and reported figures. We also recognise that banks are inconsistent in the way they count AUM. And their minimum investment requirements can range widely, starting from as little as US$33,000 and going up to as high as US$1.4 million.
Totals may include assets under custody and/or loans, and may be distorted by double-counting. Where possible, we footnote for or provide some guidance on these variables. However, in the absence of enforced or agreed-upon standardisation and transparency, these inconsistencies will continue to undermine our ability to directly compare banks’ AUM.
