Asset Management
Facing margin pressures but adapting to changes in demand and distribution
The asset management landscape is populated by international titans, fast-growing boutiques and everything in between. Differential scale dynamics and regulation are driving important decisions on outsourcing and the disruption of the value chain. While the demand for low-cost strategies is placing pressure on industry profit pools, asset managers are adapting to the evolving shape of demand and new distribution models.
In this complex and shifting environment, asset managers turn to NMG Consulting for market insight and for advice and execution across product, distribution, marketing and operations.
