Affluent Women Force Rethink Of Legacy Planning In Asia-pacific

Insurers and advisors in the Asia‑Pacific region should rethink legacy planning as affluent women gain control of assets and redefine succession around stable growth and long‑term governance, analysts said.

“Women now hold a third of the world’s wealth, with 40% concentrated in Asia, and their influence over how that wealth is governed is growing steadily,” Louise Thean, chief proposition officer at Grandtag Financial Consultancy (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., told Insurance Asia.
