OREANDA-NEWS. RnR Market Research Offers Report by Research on Wealth in Poland.
Summary

The Polish HNW population is dominated by entrepreneurs who prefer to stay in control of their finances, even if they lack experience in capital markets. While they do approach wealth managers for investment advice, Polish HNW investors like to sign off most decisions regarding their portfolios. With the 2008-09 financial crisis fresh in mind, they focus on low-risk products which do not offer high margins to banks. Hence the main challenge for Polish competitors is developing a strong, trust-based relationship between advisors and clients. As clients begin to realize the added value of wealth management services, they will be more likely to shift their preferences towards equities or alternative asset classes, as well as pay for additional solutions such as tax or inheritance planning.

Key Findings

    Almost 72% of Polish HNW individuals are entrepreneurs, with most running businesses they started themselves. Millionaires who inherited their fortunes are scarce.
    Only 4.3% of HNW investors are expats, originating mostly from neighbouring Germany.
    Although Polish HNW clients accept that they can't manage their portfolios without help, they still prefer advisory mandates and enjoy having the last word on any adjustments.
    Polish HNW investors are risk-averse, allocating 56% of their assets to bonds or deposits.
    Wealth managers expect their clients to show growing demand for alternatives, which are very under-represented in HNW portfolios compared to developed markets.
    Securing a steady cash-flow for retirement is vital for Polish HNW individuals. Looking forward, 95% of wealth managers forecast growing demand for inheritance planning.
