Asset Management
The Asset Management industry is set for a challenging period ahead as industry and market forces affect the retention and gathering of assets.
The increasing cost of regulation, the “barbell effect” and the fall-out from emerging markets have created a testing landscape for the asset management community.
The recent winners have been firms who have offered ETF/Passive strategies and absolute return and multi-asset products, whilst the search for alpha has driven growth amongst specialist alternatives managers.
However, any increase in returns is being countered by escalating costs as companies invest in new technologies and communicate with increasingly engaged customers.
Odgers Berndtson supports organisations in recruiting the talent to tackle these industry issues.
Netherlands
The Netherlands remains a promising market for asset management, but organisations seeking to grow or establish a presence in the Netherlands face a competitive market for talent.
Pension funds invest strongly in digitization, creating efficient and smooth operations. Blockchain technology is being adopted and cultural bridges are being built to upgrade a company’s performance.
Sustainable investments and innovative portfolio strategies have become board topics for asset managers. The Netherlands provides an innovative landscape for investment professionals.
Odgers Berndtson’s Financial Services Practice works with asset management firms to ensure they have the senior management and executive talent to handle the challenges they are sure to face.
