April 7, 2025How We Recruit High Net Worth Individuals in APAC
Your insider guide to accessing affluent insights in Singapore, Australia, and South East Asia.
High net worth individuals (HNWIs)—those with $1M+ in liquid assets—are key to understanding investment trends, private banking needs, and luxury market behaviors in APAC.
But recruiting them? That’s a challenge. Privacy concerns, exclusive networks, and busy schedules make them elusive. At Research Network, based in Singapore, we’ve cracked the code. Using a trust-based, personalized approach, our staff connect clients with HNWIs across the region. Here’s how we do it—and why it works.
Why HNWI Insights Are Critical
HNWIs shape APAC’s economy:
- Investment Firms: Syfe and UBS refine strategies with their feedback.
- Private Banks: DBS and UOB enhance services based on their input.
- Luxury Brands: Porsche and watchmakers boost sales with their insights.
With wealth surging—Singapore boasts over 240,000 millionaires (Credit Suisse, 2022)—HNWI research in APAC is more valuable than ever. Our staff know firsthand: reaching them takes more than generic tactics.
Our Staff-Driven Recruitment Process
We deliver high net worth recruitment in APAC in 1 week (Singapore) or 2 weeks (APAC). Here’s our process, straight from our team:
- Client Kickoff
Our staff sit down with you to nail down profiles—think C-suite execs, ultra-HNWIs (>20M SGD), or young investors. We’ve learned precision upfront saves time later. - Smart Sourcing
We activate:- Our Panel Database: Pre-vetted HNWIs ready to engage.
- Personal Networks: Staff tap trusted contacts for referrals.
- Social Media: Discreet LinkedIn and WhatsApp outreach that works.
- Authentic Engagement
Our team ditches cold calls for personalized outreach. We highlight market-rate incentives and our credibility—HNWIs trust us because we respect their time. - Verification Done Right
Need proof? We handle background checks or asset verification discreetly, ensuring every participant is legit. - Fast Delivery
We schedule interviews or surveys and deliver insights—often with interim data in 24 hours.
Our staff enforce PDPA compliance and NDAs with bank clients, so security’s never a worry.
Tackling HNWI Recruitment Challenges
Our team knows the hurdles—and how to clear them:
- Exclusive Circles
HNWIs stay tight-knit. We break in with personal referrals and industry connections. - Building Trust
Skepticism runs high. Our staff counter it with transparency, competitive pay, and a track record of success (e.g., repeat projects with UBS). - Varied Profiles
Older HNWIs (55+) want phone calls; younger ones (<30) are on WhatsApp. Ultra-HNWIs and C-suite folks are trickier. We adapt with:- Full panel mobilization.
- Niche targeting (e.g., luxury car events).
- Honest timelines upfront.
- Busy Schedules
Time’s tight for HNWIs. We offer flexible options and keep it quick.
