Four Trends Reshaping Asset Management and the Impact on Asset Servicers
Over the last decade, the asset management industry has been undergoing a significant structural transformation, reshaped by investor demand, geopolitical shifts, product innovations, regulatory changes, and new technologies.
This paper examines four key industry trends that are driving asset managers and service providers to rethink their strategies to create and deliver value via their products/services and business models to remain competitive and enable profitable growth.
