A report shared by Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC) said that more than 40% of the new SIPs in India now originate from tier 2,3 and 4 cities, calling the monthly SIP flows of $3 billion a price insensitive equity flow in the Indian markets. Further, it added that India’s high net-worth population is projected to grow faster than any other APAC market through 2030, primarily due to intergenerational wealth transfer of over $1.5 trillion over the next decade.

Globally, PwC predicted the asset and wealth management marketsin Asia-Pacific to grow at 6.8% between 2026 and 2030, higher than their counterparts in North America and Europe which are expected to grow at 6.2% and 5.6%, respectively. Among investment types, passive investments are expected to see the fastest growth at a 15% CAGR in this period, followed by alternates at 8.3% CAGR.
