19th Annual Global CEO Survey: Asset management


Redefining Business in a Changing World

This report is a summary of our survey findings in the asset management sector, based on the answers from 189 asset management CEOs in 45 countries.

To equip themselves for this challenge – and to build trust and ensure long-term success - CEOs are focusing on three core capabilities. Firstly, they’re focusing even more strongly on customer needs as well as drawing on their organisational purpose – what their companies stand for – to define a more comprehensive view of how their business operates within society. Secondly, they’re harnessing technology, innovation and talent to execute strategies that meet greater expectations. And finally they’re developing better ways to measure and communicate business success.
 


Key findings

  • Asset management CEOs are uncertain about economic growth, expressing contrasting views about the outlook in 2016 (30% expect improvement vs 25% anticipating a decline)
  • Yet they're positioning themselves to grow their own businesses - 95% are confident or very confident about 2016 revenue growth, and 65% are hiring
  • CEOs are retooling their businesses to compete at a time when customers' needs are changing, across risk management, technology and marketing
