The wealth management industry in South Korea is in good health, benefiting from rising numbers of affluent people who have a desire to invest their assets and get even richer.
According to the Asia-Pacific Wealth Report 2015, published by Capgemini and RBC Wealth Management in September, South Korea has the fifth largest population of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) in the region. The total stood at 189,000 at the end of 2014, 6.8% higher than at the end of 2013.
