Private Banking Services in the US industry analysis

Private banks have grown recently as wealth managers have capitalized on the growing number of millionaires in emerging markets. The relative strength of the US economy has propelled private banks, as wealthy individuals worldwide have sought to park their wealth in secure assets like urban real estate. Even amid volatility in capital markets due to the pandemic at the onset of the period, market accumulation spurred growth. Overall, the need for private banking services has increased as the global number of high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals has grown. Industry-wide revenue has been growing at a CAGR of 5.0% to $95.9 billion over the past five years, including an expected jump of 3.6% in 2024 alone. 

Trends and Insights

  • Assets under management increased despite the pandemic. Investor uncertainty and a rebound in capital markets following the initial dip in 2020 led to increased assets under management, but lower interest rates hindered profit growth.
  • Volatility in equity markets limited the number of ultra-high-net-worth individuals. The Russia-Ukraine conflict and interest rate hikes led to considerable volatility in equity markets, limiting the number of ultra-high-net-worth individuals in 2022.
  • Proximity to downstream markets is crucial. The population's wealth and the number of financial institutions in a particular region encourage private banks to establish.
  • Private banks primarily compete based on reputation and fees. Private banks must provide highly personalized services and uphold professional standards that place the client's needs before those of the company.
