The Investment managers sector is highly responsive to economic trends. An ageing population, the investment needs of the younger generation and of emerging countries continue to drive the sector.
However the industry itself is likely to consolidate with fewer mega-managers and large niche players likely to emerge, alongside more strategic alliances. Regulatory scrutiny will only increase.
