Future of Asset Management Asia 2021 | Financial Times | 9 November 2021 | Online Event

Strategies to differentiate the asset managers of tomorrow

The pandemic has forced global asset managers to adjust to a world of macroeconomic uncertainty. How are they refining operating models to build business resilience at a time of rising costs, competition and risk? To what extent are they seizing emerging opportunities, especially in the growing Chinese market, and how are China’s asset managers responding? How are asset managers dealing with other changes — the rapid digitalisation of their industry, for example, and the need to weave sustainability principles into their portfolios and practices? What is the forecast for Asia’s asset management industry over the next few years?
