Potential Trends within the Investment Industry for 2023

Jun 21, 2023

Following up from our previous post where we shared key trends within the fund management industry, here are some potential trends that could occur within the investment industry for 2023:

1. Increased interest in sustainable and socially responsible investing:

With growing concerns over climate change and social inequalities, investors may prioritize investing in companies that align with their values and actively work towards positive environmental and social impact.


2. Consolidation within the industry:

As smaller firms struggle to compete with larger ones, there may be more mergers and acquisitions within the investment industry. This could lead to fewer but larger investment firms with greater economies of scale.


3. Continued growth of passive investing:

Index funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been gaining popularity in recent years, with some estimates indicating that passive investments could account for over half of all assets under management by 2025. This trend may continue in 2023 as investors seek lower fees and greater diversification.


4. Digitalization of the investment process:

Technology will likely continue to reshape the investment industry, with more firms utilising artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and other technologies to improve portfolio management, risk assessment, and customer service.


5. Shift towards emerging markets:

As developed economies face slower growth rates, investors may increasingly turn to emerging markets for opportunities. This could include investments in stocks, bonds, and private equity in countries such as India, China, and Brazil.


It's important to note that these trends are subject to change based on a variety of factors, including macroeconomic events and shifting investor preferences.


Nonetheless, they provide a glimpse into what the investment industry could look like in 2023 and beyond. Leverage on our expertise and prepare for your second half of the year with us!
