Asia Pacific Mutual Fund Market Analysis
The Asia-Pacific Mutual Fund Industry is expected to register a CAGR of greater than 9% during the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic has pulled the world into unchartered waters. Slow growth and wafer thin margins have been key concerns in APAC region. COVID-19 pandemic has a moderate impact on the mutual fund assets market in APAC, owing to increased cases of corporate defaults as the cash flow position has been hampered tremendously. However, as lockdown in several regions has severely impacted the movement of consumers and disruption of businesses across the globe, customers are availing offers of mutual funds via online platforms.
In Asia, fund distribution is still highly fragmented, with no single route dominating every area. Retail banks dominate the sale of fund products in Hong Kong and China, whereas securities firms dominate the market in Korea.
A number of B2B robo advisers and ones aimed towards the middle-class market are already making inroads in a number of APAC markets and tie-ups with asset managers and banking distribution platforms are taking place.
Given the growing potential of this region, many countries are bringing in regulations to streamline the industry with free flow of funds among countries and also to curb unwarranted results. Japan's Financial Services Authority released finalized principles regarding fiduciary duty, setting out seven overarching principles that will aid the economy in pursuing sustainable economic growth and the stable financial accumulation of Japanese household assets. In India, regulations of mutual fund mergers have been tightened to improve transparency and eliminate product ambiguity for investors. Similarly, a new regulatory framework in China will enhance market surveillance and transparency.
