5 Key Trends that are Shaping the Fund Management industry

Jun 07, 2023

As we approach the second half of 2023, we're here to share key trends within the fund management industry!

1. Sustainability

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing is growing in importance, with an increasing focus on sustainability issues. Fund managers are recognizing the potential risks and opportunities associated with climate change and sustainability issues, which will likely drive increased demand for ESG-focused products.

2. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Machine learning and AI are making their way into the fund management industry. AI tools enable asset managers to more effectively analyze data and make informed investment decisions. We can expect to see an increased adoption of AI for investment analysis.

3. Digital Transformation

The fund management industry is undergoing a digital transformation, with an increasing focus on automation and digitisation of processes. This includes the use of robo-advisors and other digital platforms for client interactions.

4. Active Management

The shift towards passive investing has been a trend for some time now, but there are indications that active management could make a comeback. Active managers are introducing innovative strategies and leveraging new technologies to offer value-added solutions to clients.

5. Alternative Investments

Alternative investments, such as private equity and hedge funds, are becoming more mainstream. High-net-worth individuals and institutional investors are allocating more funds to alternative investments as they search for yield and diversification.

Listed above are just some of the key trends that we have noticed within the market for the first half of 2023. As it is essential for asset managers to stay ahead of these trends, leverage on our expertise and prepare for your second half of the year with us!
