Cross-border fund distribution continues to grow as more financial groups launch international strategies for an expanding range of fund products. This trend will continue as successful cross-border distribution strategies can maximise asset gathering, drive economies of scale and boost product innovation. However, designing, implementing and maintaining a multi-jurisdictional distribution strategy involves a unique set of challenges.
At PwC we understand these challenges. We understand the interconnected processes and specific local and international resources required for a crossborder strategy to be sustainable.
