Global assets under management to hit US $200 trillion by 2030
<\/p>\n
Under baseline projections, PwC research estimates global AuM held by asset and wealth managers (AWMs) is expected to rise from US$139 trillion today to $200 trillion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.2%.<\/p>\n
North America will remain the dominant market for global AuM and grow at a CAGR of 6.2%, but Asia-Pacific is projected to grow fastest at a CAGR of 6.8%. Latin America (6.6%), the Middle East and Africa (6.3%) and Europe (5.6%) are also expanding.<\/p>\n
At the same time, the total pool of global investable wealth is set to climb from US $345 trillion in 2024 to $482 trillion by the end of the decade, growing at a CAGR of 5.7%.<\/p>\n
Two-thirds of this growth will be driven by structural and demographic shifts among Mass Affluents (5.7% CAGR) and high-net-worth-individuals (HNWIs) \u2013 one of the fastest growing client segments \u2013 growing at a CAGR of 6.5%.<\/p>\n
Private markets to account for more than half of industry revenue<\/p>\n
Private markets are set to remain the industry\u2019s most profitable engine. Private markets generate roughly four times more profit per billion dollars of AuM than traditional managers today. By 2030, private markets revenues are set to reach US $432.2 billion and deliver over half of the total asset management industry\u2019s revenues by 2030.<\/p>\n
Other bright spots include tokenised funds. AuM is projected to grow at a staggering 41% CAGR, from about $90 billion in 2024 to $715 billion by 2030, driven by the maturation of blockchain infrastructure, institutional adoption, as well as the democratisation of private markets.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, passive AuM is projected to rise at a CAGR of 10%, to reach $70 trillion by 2030.<\/p>\n
Asset managers look to AI and target convergence with wealth managers and FinTech\u2019s to alleviate cost pressures<\/p>\n
The spearhead of reinvention is the rapid advance of AI, including generative and agentic models, together with tokenisation.<\/p>\n
Half of asset managers say convergence with wealth management and FinTech players will have the most significant impact on their revenue growth by 2030 \u2013 ahead of tokenisation and digital asset adoption (38%).<\/p>\n
Two-thirds (69%) of institutional investors signalled a likelihood to allocate capital to asset managers developing tech capabilities to offer enhanced products and services.<\/p>\n
The archetypes of success in the Intelligence Age<\/p>\n
Businesses best positioned to outpace and outcompete are clustering around four distinct models \u2013 yet only 42% of firms today fit one of four winning archetypes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n<\/ol>\n
The rest will only be able to capture 6.1% of the total increase in revenues by 2030. Archetypes are 1.5 times more likely to prioritise demographic shifts, and 1.5 times ahead in automating hyper-personalisation through the use of technologies over the next five years.<\/p>\n
