Asset managers will be held up to scrutiny and made accountable for investor suitability and investment advice. This will result in lower fees, increased transparency, and greater investor protection.
As younger, tech-savvy investors enter the AWM scene, traditional asset & wealth management channels will become near-obsolete and digitised offerings, which integrate artificial intelligence and machine learning, will create differentiated services and more efficient value chains.
With investors more price conscious than ever, asset and wealth managers will need to enhance their value offerings by building strong multi-asset solutions that incorporate active and passive strategies. Further, outcome investing strategies, like those incorporating ESG and SRI, are coming to the forefront of investment products.
Growing urbanisation and aging populations across APAC are leading to new opportunities for asset and wealth managers who will be integral to developing solutions to support the financing and investment needs of these populations.
New investment structures that facilitate cross-border investments, such as fund product development; marketing; and cross-border distribution, will deepen financial integration across developed markets and drive the region to be more cooperative and inter-connected.
