Never before has the investment management industry been more globally focused -- due in large part to emerging capital markets, pension reform, tremendous advances in technology, and increasing deregulation. It is no longer enough to focus the terms, attributes, or distribution strategies of your products and services on just one market. Investment management and real estate companies are facing an intricate jigsaw of challenges and opportunities.
Demand for investment management services is set to soar as consumers seek efficient ways to fund longer retirements. Further openings are coming from the increasing affluence and sophistication of customers in emerging markets such as China and India. However, companies need to contend with increasing competition and ever more exacting customer demands against a background of mounting regulation and continuing financial market volatility.
PricewaterhouseCoopers has a network of specialists who can help investment managers and real estate companies to turn challenges into opportunities in key areas including governance, risk management, financial reporting and business development strategies.
