Latin American market has been witnessing traditional Private banks as their major player in channelizing the wealth of most of the retail investors. Still, with the decrease in the interest rates and growth of middle-class investors, the retail investors began opting the other alternatives investment.

HNWI wealth increased in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico, while the decrease in HNWI wealth in other LATAM regions countered the growth. Together, these three markets account for 71% of LATAM's HNWI population and 83% of its HNWI wealth, and they had 0.3% and 2.4% growth in both population and wealth, respectively. Gains were offset by weakness in other LATAM economies, where the population of HNWIs fell by 1.5%, and wealth fell by 1.0%. The Asset under Management (AuM) has most of the assets remaining in the form of Mutual funds. It is expected to increase at a double-digit rate throughout the forecast period.

Despite the pandemic, global wealth increased for the year. Global high net worth individual (HNWI) population and financial wealth increased by 6.3% and 7.6%, respectively. The unprecedented stock market gains in the key market increased the HNWI wealth. A similar scenario was seen in the Latin America Wealth market. Although the HNWI population decreased by 4%, the wealth of HNWI increased by 0.5%.

The large private Banks manage the majority of AuM, but with the increase in the wealth of wealthy families, the number of Family offices managing their money is also increasing.

Alternative Assets To Boom In Latin America

The demands of investors are shifting, but their need for high returns remains constant. Alternative assets will likely grow in popularity in the next years, owing to rising investor demand for ESG considerations. Latin America's fund managers will need to factor these changes into their strategic operations strategies while maintaining a focus on growth and performance.

In the future, most Latin Americans intend to grow their exposure to alternative asset classes, the most popular of which are private equity, private debt, and infrastructure. Many are restricted due to mandates, but it is projected that their allocations will expand even further once regulatory reforms take effect. Chile's 2017 reforms, for example, have allowed pension funds to engage in alternatives, requiring them to dedicate 5% to 15% of their portfolio to these illiquid asset classes. In the future years, as interest rates decrease, pension funds will increasingly resort to alternatives to meet their mandates and meet increased demand.
