Julius Baer Group Ltd. sees India’s wealth market as a large opportunity even as private banking margins shrink globally, its top official in the country said.

The nation’s $600 billion wealth industry is growing at 12% annually, and only a quarter of that wealth is currently managed professionally, Umang Papneja, managing director and chief executive of the Swiss wealth manager’s Indian unit, said in a Bloomberg TV interview on Thursday.
