There are significant structural changes taking place within the investment management sector. Platforms are upending established distribution methods. The line separating retail, institutional and advisory investing is becoming less distinct. Traditional asset managers' fund inflows are declining as a result of passive investment.
In this post, we present new important trends emerging as a result of the current industrial upheaval.
Through defined contribution plans, pension liabilities across the globe are shifting from the government and companies to the individual. That is why we see the importance of the retail investor rising as a result.
As investment writers, we have previously had extensive influence over a portion of the value chain, but we risk losing that power to others, such as platforms, wealth managers, and insurance companies. Because of this new trend, we are committed to providing you with your needs at a fairly affordable price.
At Investment Matters, we have responded to this by strengthening our intermediated approaches. We emphasize the significance of strengthening our partnerships with their intermediaries as their key route to the investment market.
We are adjusting to our clients' growing needs for globally diversified solutions. On the other hand, wealth in developing economies is increasing, giving our investment managers in these regional markets access to new clientele. We are keen on establishing a domestic presence with more tailored services in fewer geographic areas and using a global distribution channel.
Pricing pressures originate from a variety of sources. Platforms can reduce fund management fees by simply comparing funds. Furthermore, the continuous expansion of low-cost alternative investments has the potential to undercut active funds that only earn "marginal alpha." Regulatory expenditures exacerbate the situation. We are delivering enhanced, distinctive alpha performance or less expensive, cost-effective semi-active funds.
We have to think of strategic options given the factors identified by the trends, like: which customer, distribution strategy, active or passive management style, and configuration.
The investment industry is changing. Investment managers with successful funds and effective strategies will prosper and be able to impose premium fees; those with subpar performance will feel the pressure from passive investment funds. The outcome is probably going to be platform and wealth manager consolidation, which will lead to fewer funds.
At Investment Matters, we are aware of the trends in the industry and are qualified enough to maneuver through all these new developments that may be of worry to you. We aim to leave our clients satisfied regardless of the prevailing circumstances in the industry.
