Pressure on performance and profitability

With muted active returns, increased transparency and ease of access to the market, the asset and wealth management industry is experiencing fee pressure and changing investor preferences, leaving firms searching for ways to transform and improve performance while cutting costs.

Transforming the business model

Rising concentration

Asset and wealth managers are making a host of deliberate and aggressive strategic decisions to succeed in the face of today’s challenges, including making acquisitions and adding new product capabilities to increase scale.

Value propositions matter

Value-for-money demands are upending the economics of the industry, which has seen asset-weighted mutual fund and ETF fees fall in recent years, driven by investors switching to lower-cost products.

Rise of digital assets

With the maturation of exchanges and custody, the avenues for obtaining and holding digital assets are becoming more secure and offer a simplified approach. As a sign of its growing popularity, regulators have an increased focus in this area, and firms and their service providers are embedding digital assets into strategies.
